Power management company Eaton Corp. has launched the Eaton 9PX uninterruptible power system (UPS) for 5 to 11 kilovolt-ampere (kVA) applications. The 9PX is a power protection solution designed for SMBs in need of controlling energy costs.
The 9PX UPS offers a wide variety of available configurations designed to maximize availability and optimize flexibility. It is “tailored to main distribution frame and intermediate distribution frame applications equipped with high density network switches,” according to an Eaton press release submitted to ChannelPro-SMB.
“Customers will find the Eaton 9PX one of the most energy intelligent UPSs on the market,” says Hervé Tardy, Eaton’s vice president and general manager, power quality. “It not only offers a bundled network card, software package, and graphical LCD display, but also offers increased power.”
A graphical LCD interface built into the front of the UPS tilts 45 degrees for optimal viewing, rotates to match rack and tower installations, and enables IT and data center managers to view detailed information as well as customize all UPS settings at the push of a button.
Through the display and integration with Eaton’s power management software, users are provided insight into UPS power usage and efficiency, enabling management of electrical consumption and energy footprint.
All 9PX UPSs are bundled with a network card and Eaton’s Intelligent Power Software Suite. By implementing the software with the 9PX, MSPs can monitor and manage an entire power system from a single dashboard, or directly from major virtualization platforms, such as VMware vCenter Server, Citrix XenServer, Microsoft SCVMM, Red Hat ,and other Xen open source platforms.†
Additionally, Eaton’s ABM technology optimizes battery recharge time, eliminates overcharging, and continuously monitors battery condition to extend battery service life by 50 percent, contributing to a two-year warranty that covers all Eaton 9PX UPS units including batteries.
