Aginode partners with Ethernetics to supply intelligent PDUs for data centres

Aginode teams up with Ethernetics BV, a Belgian-based start-up developing patented energy saving power distribution units, to announce a technical and commercial partnership in the field of Intelligent Power Distribution Units (PDUs) aimed at optimising electricity consumption at rack level in data centres.

The data centre market is growing fast, driven by the rapid adoption of AI, cloud computing, and high-performance digital services. As data centre capacity continues to expand rapidly, operators face mounting challenges around energy availability, rising carbon emissions, and the need for greater power quality and stability to safeguard critical infrastructure and maximize uptime. With substantial capital investments at stake, ensuring resilient and efficient operations has never been more important. By combining complementary expertise, technologies, and resources, Aginode and Ethernetics deliver an intelligent end-to-end solution that integrates advanced hardware and software capabilities to help data centre operators optimize energy efficiency, enhance stability across all powered phases, reduce operational risk, and support sustainable growth.

In practical terms, the partnership between Aginode and Ethernetics covers several areas, including the distribution of Ethernetics’ products and solutions under the “Aginode powered by Ethernetics” brand. In addition, the partnership includes the exploration of emerging technology, product, and solution trends, as well as portfolio sharing and future co-development opportunities.

Jean-Jacques Sage, Chief Business Development Officer, Aginode Group, commented: “Ethernetics has developed a unique PDU solution that perfectly complements Aginode data centre portfolio, matches company values, and addresses one of the main customer concerns: the energy efficiency and CO2 reduction. This partnership is part of Aginode strategy to build alliances and to reinforce its presence on the Enterprise, Collocation and Hyperscale (in APAC) market segment. In the meantime, Aginode welcomes Ethernetics as a member of the ENGAGE Data Centre Alliance.”

Lionel van Dongen, Sales Lead, Ethernetics SRL, says: "Aginode and Ethernetics not only share common values such as performance, entrepreneurship, and sustainability, but are also committed to helping the data centre industry reduce its electricity consumption. With Aginode's partnership, our unique solution to save electricity consumption at rack level will quickly become available to many more customers, helping them in increasing their stability and energy consumption.”
