Hello!
Recently I've had trouble caused by Supermicro power distribution units (PDU's) and power supplies (PSU's). Very few are bad, but when they are bad they are truly terrible. Unfortunately I'm working through a problem with a PDU right now. It has taken a long time to isolate the cause and I won't be able to confirm until after I do even more tests.
Can anybody please recommend other brands of high quality PSU's and other power supply electronics such as PDU's?
This would be great just in case I end up in a similar situation in future and a suitable substitute from a different manufacturer is available.
For example, I know Delta are supposed to be excellent, but when I looked at their range of switching power supplies for servers, I was just a little disappointed by the very small range.
Are there any other companies who actually make server PSU's (and PDU's, etc) of very high quality?
Obviously the common form factors ATX, SFX, SFX-L, TFX, FlexATX, etc, are important to have access to. But also, I often need various form factors for rack-mounted chassis, such as 1U, 2U, etc, possibly in redundant configurations, of various sizes and outputs. There's a huge range of specifications, I think I'd be lucky to find more than one vendor in some (many?) cases.
Nevertheless I'm sure that I've seen a wide variety of server PSU's and other hardware from companies like Delta. But I can't think of any at the moment and searching the web and online electronics stores isn't yielding anything helpful yet. If anybody has recommendations, please let me know. Thank you!
