Eaton, a global provider of power management solutions, has launched Intelligent Power Manager software version 1.5, building on its integration with VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager with new load-shedding capabilities designed to enhance business value while increasing efficiency, reliability, and continuity to save end-users from data loss.†
Pre-configured to operate with VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager, Intelligent Power Manager software is designed to synchronize virtual machines (VMs) and automatically initiate the execution of a recovery plan to avoid data loss and reduce downtime during a power event. Eaton’s latest software builds on the platform, allowing data center and IT managers to organize and prioritize groups of VMs within VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager.†
Providing capabilities for end-users to set specific times for VMs to shut down during a power event, Intelligent Power Manager software is engineered to keep critical applications up-and-running while shutting down non-essential machines for enhanced flexibility and protection. The software installs into several virtual management systems and can read attributes from both power equipment and environmental data such as temperature and humidity.
Intelligent Power Manager software version 1.5 is optimized to work with Eaton power management solutions, including uninterruptible power systems (UPSs), enclosure power distribution units (ePDUs), and other power devices through the VMware vSphere 5.5 virtualization platform. The software can be paired with Eaton’s latest ePDU third-generation (G3) platform, offering end-users an integrated power management platform to monitor multiple units through virtualization systems.†
Eaton’s Intelligent Power Manager software version 1.5 is available in a basic package that is free for up to 10 nodes, in addition to an advanced platform that offers end-users more functionality and features up to 100 nodes.
