(NMCs). The NMC is recommended for remote management and is required for managing UPSs
in virtualized IT environments.

remote traditional (Windows/Linux) or virtualized servers (Microsoft ® , VMware ® , Citrix ® and
Red Hat ® ).
 Provides an agentless method for managing multiple hosts in clusters using VMware vCenter™ or
Citrix XenCenter ® .
The Dell Multi-UPS Management Console (MUMC) does not:

or other host management interface.
 Assume responsibility for VM startup/shutdown/hibernation/VM Migration. This is managed by
the host management interface.
 Replace a user’s need to understand VM behavior responding to a host entering maintenance
mode or shutting down.
 Explain all possible scenarios according to the various virtualization vendors, license types and
feature sets.
