Will Stevens, Senior IT Director at AOL said, “Our decision was easy; there was no vendor out there that provides Raritan’s level of outlet-level metering. We wanted a solution that could be deployed in our existing data centers, as well as one that would work in new locations. The key features in Raritan’s solution that appealed to us were data collection capabilities, analytics and reporting, and the support of open interfaces.“
