Customization for end users: You can customize the script included in the package as needed. For

example, you may want to customize the SRM with IPM for low battery and protection loss features.

Unattended execution of recovery plan before server crash: SRM with IPM provide recovery even before

the entire site crashes. When the SRM feature is used, the backup will be ready even before the crash,

which keeps the site continually secured.

VMware LoadShedding Package

During utility failure, load shedding can reduce the effective runtime of highly critical devices because battery

capacity is limited. Eaton has developed a package to allow you to perform load shedding in your VMware Data

Center. The Eaton LoadShedding package provides a process of closing or shutting down less critical load so

that remaining capacity can be used for highly critical loads. These modules have a simple GUI to set priority to

the VMs and allow you to configure the time to shutdown /suspend the VMs of every priority.

Multiple Hypervisor and Remote Solution

For multiple Hypervisor hosts, it is possible to manage shutdown through IPM by using System Center Virtual

Machine Manager (SCVMM). This solution is ideal for large infrastructures working through an SCVMM server.

This solution provides following feature:

Hyper-V / Hyper-V server remote maintenance to trigger VM live migration.
