6.2 Intelligent Power Software
Intelligent Power Software are productivity tools for UPS power management.
These software solutions enhance the protection provided by a UPS by shutting
down applications and operating systems, triggering disaster recovery
procedures and migrating virtual machines in case of an extended power
outage. They also help in reducing downtime and increasing the reliability of the
UPS by alarming the operators of issues and monitoring vital meters. The
software can also be used to view the usage characteristics of power equipment
across the enterprise and use the data to optimize the use of the facilities.
Intelligent Power Software is web-based, which means that the information can
be accessed through any device that has a web browser.
On one hand, Intelligent Power Manager (IPM) is a monitoring system that can
concentrate the data and alarms of hundreds of UPS, ePDU and other devices
into a single view. On the other hand, it provides a link to virtualization through
management systems, such as VMware vCenter. This way an administrator
gets a single pane of glass to manage both IT equipment and the supporting
infrastructure. IPM provides the shutdown, migration, disaster recovery and load
shedding features in virtualized environments.
Intelligent Power Protector (IPP) is a shutdown agent with basic monitoring and
alarming capability. It provides automatic, graceful shutdown of computers and
virtual machines or servers powered by an Eaton UPS during a power outage
that lasts longer than your available battery runtime. Intelligent Power Protector
can be remotely supervised and managed by the Intelligent Power Manager
(IPM) application.
Intelligent Power Software is delivered on a CD with the UPS. Alternatively, you
can download it from the Eaton web page. Some of the advanced features of
IPM require a license, contact your Eaton representative for details.
