Eaton's Power Xpert® Architecture
Manage Power as a
Strategic Asset
Today, the IT infrastructure is viewed—and managed—as a strategic
business asset. Clearly, the quality of the electrical power that flows
through facilities, data centres and server rooms should be a factor
when IT managers measure infrastructure performance. Yet, invisible
and fleeting power disturbances can be silent killers—often going
unmonitored and unnoticed.
With Eaton’s Power Xpert Architecture—the backbone of our
PowerChain Management solutions—you gain unprecedented visibility
into the entire power system. A framework to view your entire power
system, Power Xpert Architecture encompasses conditioned power in
the data centre as well as unconditioned power coming into the facility.
Through hardware, software and communication elements, the
architecture unites diverse power components across your enterprise
into a single view—old and new PDUs, batteries and other critical
equipment from multiple manufacturers. So you can monitor, control
and manage the power system more effectively and efficiently as you
correlate events across the power system, drill into details for quick
diagnosis and use tools to determine appropriate actions.
A simple, Web-based
interface helps you to:
• Understand energy usage patterns and baselines
• Reduce peak loads, identify high energy users and realise
energy savings
• Find the real causes of issues, including power event “ghosts,” sags,
swells and transients
• Analyse event severity according to IT standards
• See your power quality at a glance
Leverage Power Xpert Architecture to establish a unified management
approach for your enterprise. The solution is based on open standards
so that devices can communicate. It synchronises equipment clocks
through a network time server so you can accurately correlate events at
different points in the system.
Power Xpert Architecture—It’s one of Eaton’s powerful innovations in
facility monitoring and management. For additional information about
