9.4 WAVEMON Shutdown and Management Software
9.4.1 Why is UPS Management important?
By combining a UPS with a variety of network management products, such
as orderly shutdown software and SNMP adaptors, system-administrators
can be assured that their electricity supplies are monitored for power
disruptions and depleted battery conditions. Such conditions pose the
greatest threat through power disturbance, to valuable computer data by
causing possible corruption or loss. By installing UPS/Mains monitoring
software, administrators are able to monitor the utility power from a central
location, allowing early warning of problems even across more complex
systems like Wide Area Networks (WAN) and Enterprise Wide Networks
of multinational companies.
A prolonged Mains failure may outlast the battery autonomy of the UPS
system. If this situation occurs UPS management software will initiate an
automatic, graceful shutdown of the operating system, protecting valuable
data.
Uninterruptible Power Supplies Ltd. offer a wide range of local and remote
monitoring and control systems, offering maximum protection for
computer systems.
