What Server Technology does
Server Technology, founded in 1986 and headquartered at 1040 Sandhill Road, Reno, Nevada, is a privately held subsidiary of Legrand that designs and manufactures rack-mounted Power Distribution Units (PDUs) for data centers. The company's product portfolio spans four SKU families — PRO1 through PRO4X — and ranges from entry-level Basic PDUs to advanced intelligent Switched POPS PDUs, with the flagship PRO4X supporting -48VDC to 480V AC input at up to 86.6kW. Core proprietary technologies include HDOT (High Density Outlet Technology) and HDOT Cx (a hybrid C13/C19 outlet), Per Outlet Power Sensing (POPS) with +/-1% accuracy, Per Inlet Power Sensing (PIPS), Alternating Phase Technology, and the XERUS Technology Platform which provides power quality monitoring, circuit breaker trip forensics with waveform capture, and a hot-swappable controller. The company sells primarily through a Legrand-run PRO Channel Partner Program (VARs, SIs, distributors, colocation partners) augmented by direct website sales with a Build Your Own PDU configurator; Sentry Power Manager (SPM) software provides centralized DCIM and is available on subscription.
The company serves a diversified mix of enterprise, hyperscale, colocation, government/federal, edge computing, higher education, and telecommunications buyers, with named reference customers including EMC, Cisco Webex, Apache Corporation, NASA, and Infiniti UK. Federal and defense customers (U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, U.S. Army, Coast Guard, Department of Energy, NIH) are served through TAA-compliant manufacturing in Reno, Korea, and Mexico. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware unit sales under multi-year contracts plus subscription revenue from SPM. Server Technology's Solution Partner Program encompasses 17+ integration partners including Nlyte, Cormant, Hyperview, Rittal, Opengear, Digi International, Quest Software, and Lantronix. Recognition includes six consecutive DCS Awards through 2019, the 2015 DCS Award for Datacentre Management Product of the Year (SPM), and the 2019 DCS Award and DCD Award for HDOT Cx.
Strategic positioning is reinforced by Legrand ownership: in 2018 the Legrand Data Center Power and Control Partner Program unified Server Technology and Raritan channel programs in the Americas, and in 2026 the program expanded to incorporate ZPE Systems and Legrand Cabinets & Containment. The 2026 launch of the PRO4X flagship and targeted go-to-market messaging around hyperscale, AI, and GPU workloads indicate active repositioning toward the higher-density power requirements of modern AI/HPC data centers, while maintaining its traditional dominance in government and enterprise rack PDU procurement.
