Eaton Power Solutions has announced the global launch of  the Intelligent Power Manager software version 1.5, optimised to work with the company’s UPS systems and enclosure power distribution units.

The new software - pre-configured to operate with Eaton’s VMware vCenter Sire Recovery Manager - is designed to synchronise virtual machines (VMs) and automatically initiate a recovery plan to avoid data loss in the event of power interruption.

The 1.5 version of Intelligent Power Manager will keep critical applications running, while shutting down non-essential machines. Data centre and IT managers will have the opportunity to prioritise their VMs within the VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager.

Power systems provider AEG Power Solutions has introduced a new remote monitoring system for UPS units.

The MoniUPS system is built on an Internet of Things (IoT) platform [where units are equipped with unique identifiers, allowing them to transfer data without human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction] and cloud technology. It can monitor any UPS regardless of age or brand as long as it contains an SNMP-Ethernet card.

The UPS unit sends data straight to the MoniUPS gateway that can provide information in real-time, as well as assemble periodic reports and identify system errors.

MoniUPS uses the Microsoft Azure cloud platform to store data.
