There are three main types of power distribution units available to address these issues, each containing some of the same features.
Basic PDUs:  A basic power distribution unit offers highly reliable power distribution to multiple pieces of equipment in networking

Power outages will knock a network offline and even damage hardware such as motherboards, memory, and hard drives. Despite how intrinsic power is to keeping businesses connected to their networks, only 2% to 3% of colocation facilities have the right power systems in place. The other 97% of facilities most commonly lack redundancy, multiple units carry the energy load even if one unit fails, or have units that are running above capacity, so a unit failure will cause the other units to overload and fail.
