UPS products from IBM help protect your valuable investments in technology and data. The IBM lineup of

tower and rack-ready UPS products are designed to provide:

• Battery backup to help ensure continuous operation or graceful system shutdown in the event of a

power failure or power supply interruption

• Surge protection to help prevent damage to sensitive equipment from voltage increases

• Power conditioning to help prevent glitches and errors caused by irregularities in the power supply.

Why buy a UPS solution from IBM

There are compelling reasons for purchasing a UPS solution from IBM with every tower or rack-ready

xSeries solution:

• All IBM UPS products have been tested by IBM under the IBM ServerProven

program and approved

for operation with xSeries servers and options

• A preconfigured, all-IBM solution can help speed implementation with one-stop shopping and provide

peace of mind that you have purchased the right degree of protection

• UPS products sold by IBM carry a three-year limited warranty**

• PowerChute Business Edition

software for advanced UPS power management and diagnostics

provides easy integration with IBM Director server management software and with Tivoli

TME 10

Network Management solutions for centralized control of UPS systems across monitored LANs

• UPS products sold by IBM are color matched (black) to xSeries servers and NetBAY rack products

IBM offers a comprehensive range of UPS products, including:

• Low- and high-voltage UPS units in tower and rack-ready models

Protecting data and systems with reliable, high-availability IBM power

management solutions

NEW! Featured in this Guide is the IBM USP3000X, an innovative new UPS solution designed by

IBM to increase the availability and reliability of business-critical data. This high-density,

cost-effective power management solution delivers advanced features, high performance and a

low price per watt — all in a slim 2U form factor that converts easily from rack to tower

configurations.

Server availability depends on reliable power management. No solution built from IBM ^ xSeries

servers should be considered complete without a UPS solution. Today, UPS protection is more than a

simple insurance policy; it is an integral component of any network.

IBM offers UPS products that have been tested and approved by IBM for compatibility with xSeries

systems. The IBM family of offerings includes the new IBM-branded UPS3000X as well as select

American Power Conversion (APC)-branded products that can complement most solutions.

Advanced power protection solutions for high availability The need for power protection Today, companies rely on computer systems to run almost every aspect of their business. In an ideal world, the electricity to power these systems would flow 24x7, without quality problems or interruption. However, no business is immune to power problems or occasional power outages.

Advanced power protection solutions for high availability Blackout A blackout results in total loss of utility power. • Cause: Blackouts are caused by excessive demand on the power grid, lightning storms, ice on power lines, car accidents, construction equipment, earthquakes and other catastrophes. • Effect: Current work in RAM or cache is lost. The hard disk drive File Allocation Table (FAT) may also be lost, which results in total loss of data stored on drive.

Advanced power protection solutions for high availability Selection considerations Points to consider Factors influencing purchase decisions How mission-critical is the data on the servers you want to protect? Power protection almost always nets out as “cheap insurance” when you understand the short- and long-term costs associated with data loss and application outages.

Advanced power protection solutions for high availability Additional resources AC (alternating current) Glossary Used to indicate that voltage or current in a circuit is alternating in polarity at some frequency, as in “230 Volts AC.” Alarms Audible alarms alert you of changes in operating environment and battery conditions. Most can be suppressed or delayed to eliminate unwanted noise.
