Power Management Solutions
Minimize downtime and prevent data loss
In order to get full benefit out of a UPS it needs to communicate
with the outside world. IT system administrators need to be
informed if power supply is compromised, facility managers have
to be notified if temperature rises in the UPS or battery room and
service has to be alarmed if there is a component failure in the
system. Having the ability to control power systems remotely or
automatically opens up new opportunities and can bring huge sav-
ings in work effort, energy usage and response time. Controllable
power distribution can be used to reboot equipment or turn it off
when it is not needed.
Eaton’s Power Management Solutions, including software and
connectivity products, scale from homes to most mission-critical
data centres and from largest factories to unmanned remote
observation stations. They link to network, IT, facility, automa-
tion and building management systems delivering information to
e-mail, mobile devices and Web among others.
In the optimum case sophisticated analysis in power devices
themselves or software such as PowerVision® can prevent the
risk of downtime. Even in the case where risk is present, a fast
delivery of an alarm increases the likelihood that it can be dealt
with before there are any consequences to the operation of the
powered system. Even in case where power loss can’t be avoid-
ed, software can help by automatically shutting down systems in
a controlled and predefined manner, preventing data corruption on
storage devices and databases. Eaton’s offices and representa-
tives have experts who can help in designing and installing these
solutions.
Protection: shutting down servers
To ensure the integrity of the system and the data, a computer
operating system must be shut down in the correct sequence.
Dedicated shutdown software must be installed on the servers
to execute various functions before the power supply is cut off.
These functions include:
• executingascripttocloseapplicationsrunningontheserver;
• initiatingashutdownsequenceorhibernationafterapreset

Benefits of using Power Management Solutions
• Real-timenotificationmakesiteasytoprevent
or analyse possible failures immediately
• Helpstopreventdatalossesbyenablingcon-
trolled shutdown of servers and PC operating
systems
• Viewandanalysepowereventsandmeasured
values from recorded logs
• Savetimeandmoneywithremoteequipment
control, which removes the need for additional
site visits to restart equipment. It also enables
prolonged runtime of essential equipment dur-
ing power outages by allowing orderly remote
shutdown of non-critical systems and proc-
esses.
