What is Managed Power?

Managed Power is a service that provides intelligent, cloud-connected power distribution units (PDUs) for your networking and telecom equipment. It allows for remote monitoring, automated reboots, and deep visibility into your energy consumption.

How does it reduce truck rolls?

When a router, switch, or PBX locks up, it typically requires an IT person to drive on-site just to unplug and replug the device. Managed Power can automatically detect unresponsive equipment via ping monitoring and safely power-cycle the specific outlet without human intervention.

Do I have to monitor it myself?

No, while you have full access to the cloud management portal, VirPhone's NOC (Network Operations Center) proactively monitors your critical infrastructure 24/7/365 to ensure uptime.

What size are the power units?

We offer multiple form factors depending on your needs, commonly 6-outlet units for small branch offices and 14-outlet rack-mountable units for larger server rooms or telecom closets.

Managed Power is billed as a predictable flat monthly operational expense (OpEx). This covers the hardware rental, the cloud management license, and our proactive support—all seamlessly integrated into your single VirPhone invoice.

Can I manage multiple locations?

Absolutely. The cloud portal aggregates all your power units across hundreds of locations into a single pane of glass, allowing you to monitor and control the entire fleet remotely.

Does it work with my existing phone system?

Yes, our Managed Power units are standard power distribution devices. They can support and protect any standard 120V IT equipment, regardless of whether it was purchased through VirPhone or another vendor.
