Intelligent Power Manager Features and Benefits
Supervise your ePDU power distribution with
Intelligent Power Manager
Intelligent Power
®
Manager, is a new power monitoring software
product from Eaton. It supports Eaton Monitored and Managed
ePDU products as well as UPS, so customers can monitor and
manage their power distribution via one interface and one IP
address.
Integration with virtualization platforms
IPM integration with Vmware’s vCenter and Microsoft’s SCVMM
increases productivity and operational responsiveness.
This also makes it possible to trigger vCenter’s vMotion™ and
SCVMM’s Live Migration to transparently move virtual machines
from a server affected by a power interruption to an available
server on the network, ensuring data integrity and enabling zero
downtime.
Benefits:
• Monitor and manage multiple ePDUs and UPS systems over
an IP network using a standard web browser
• IPM provides details of ePDU parameters, measurements and
settings, from any point in the network, simply using the IP
address of each ePDU
• Drill down to individual devices
• User-definable alarms including E-mail and SMS alerts through
a single point
• Supervision and management of a whole system though a
single user interface
• Configurable views
• Automatic discovery of devices
