Power Management Solutions A comprehensive communication suite for all ranges of MGE power solutions: ◗ data protection Shutting down and restarting servers automatically ◗ alarm notification Local and remote messages (e-mail, SMS, pager) ◗ supervision The main parameters of the uninterruptible power supply can be managed using a Web browser, Network Management System or multi-UPS supervisor ◗ remote control The equipment connected to the UPS can be turned on and off
Goal: improve equipment reliability and guarantee data integrity Uninterruptible power supplies are usually used as a backup source in case of a power failure to prevent downtime. This type of protection is essential but is only partially effective if the user is not able to control the situation.
Individual workstations A point-to-point (RS232 or USB) link between the UPS and the IT system to be protected provides adequate protection for a server or a workstation and its peripherals. The operating system "plug and play" solution Some operating systems, such as Windows, have built-in UPS functions for critical tasks. MGE UPS SYSTEMS are Plug and Play: when the UPS is connected to the system using a USB cable, the operating system detects the UPS automatically and installs the appropriate drivers.
Connection to IP networks There are 2 ways of connecting a UPS to an IP network: ◗ adding a network management card to the UPS which becomes the interface to the network. ◗ using a nearby PC or server connected to the network as a proxy. Network Management Card These cards are recommended for central UPS systems that protect a complete network or for UPS systems providing back-up for critical equipment.
UPS systems supervision (cont’d) Supervision using Enterprise Power Manager Additional functions Easy supervision of a group of UPS systems Enterprise Power Manager is a system for managing networked UPS systems more easily and at lower cost than the major NMS platforms, as well as being dedicated to power management functions. The manager of the UPS group has an overall, consolidated view of the main operating parameters of all the UPS systems.
