Raritan will integrate dcTrack and its related technologies into its power management portfolio, which provides data center managers with insight into energy efficiency and capacity management issues.

"Our acquisition of dcTrack will further strengthen Raritan's data center power management capabilities to address customers' energy and operations issues," said Rasul Damji, Vice President of Product Operations at Raritan. "The addition of dcTrack's comprehensive visualization software will complement Raritan's capabilities of gathering, measuring, monitoring and analyzing power usage and environmental indictors, as well as our remote server access and control technologies.

"Our shared vision to make data centers more efficient and reliable, by using real-time, detailed information of IT infrastructure elements, will help us advance our portfolio and help organizations make better decisions for their data centers and take steps towards green computing," said Ramji.
