Abstract

Software-defined fail-safe power draw control is provided for rack power distribution units (PDUs). A PDU power manager can be used to map devices to a PDU and its sockets. The PDU power manager can also identify the power rating of the PDU and its sockets. With this information, the PDU power manager can generate and apply priority-based and dynamic power caps to the devices connected to the PDU. In this way, the PDU power manager can ensure that the power ratings of the PDU and of each of its sockets are not exceeded while ensuring that power delivery is prioritized based on the workloads that the devices may experience.
