SNMP Management
Enterprise users can take advantage of the extensive TCP/IP-based
communications offering developed by MGE.
Features include:
◗ Remote management from an NMS platform such as
HP OpenView, CA Unicenter TNG, SunNetManager and more
◗ Shutdown of multiple servers running different operating systems
◗ Perform automatic actions based on power events such as paging
the network administrator or sending an eMail
◗ Reboot a locked up server remotely using the UM Switch power controller (option)
◗ Monitor the temperature and humidity of the computer room with the UM Sensor environmental module (option)
Connection to the network is achieved through an Ethernet/SNMP card that fits into the MultiSlot Communication Expander.
The multiple slots available let you manage 2 or 3 redundant Esprit UPSs as one single system over the network.
Windows
MGE has been partnering for several years with Microsoft to co-develop
power management interfaces for Windows products. As a result, Windows 2000
will ship with a dedicated power panel for MGE's Esprit product. Simply connect
your UPS to the PC and Windows 2000 will install automatically all the drivers to
secure your operating system and its files during a power failure.
MGE
power management software is available for
Windows 95/98/NT 4 and 2000 & is fully Plug & Play.
Esprit communication is based on
the new Microsoft's HID protocol, which
will become the
standard for any
device interfaced
with Windows
2000. By already implementing this
industry standard, MGE offers seamless
integration and faster, more reliable
communications to its customers.
All Esprit models come standard with built-in communications capabilities using either an RS232 or USB port. UPS-to-server
communications is essential to secure the operation of your operating system during an extended power failure. The UPS will
signal the O/S when its batteries are almost depleted to launch an orderly, graceful shutdown process to make sure all files are
protected. This feature is vital for systems running unattended, such as Web servers.
Web-based Management Using XML
MGE UPS SYSTEMS is currently chairing the W3C UPS industry workgroup, which will define an industry standard for power
management over the Web. XML will quickly replace HTML as the protocol of choice for web-based management. HTML
can only display information in a browser, it cannot easily send the data to another piece of software to perform an automatic
action such as triggering a shut down command of the system or paging an administrator. MGE's XML-@gent runs on a
Windows NT/2000 server and constantly monitors the status of the incoming power, publishing browser alerts during a power
problem to all subscribing web-enabled nodes. MGE is the first UPS to offer Web-based management using the new XML/XSL
(Extended Mark-up Language/Extended Style Language) specification for data communications
Internet-Grade Monitoring and Communications
Linux
MGE's popular Solution-Pac power
management software is available for
Linux. It provides a simple way to secure
the operation of multiple Web servers
during a power outage.
