Ensuring IT continuity during load-shedding
A backup power source is seen as essential for business continuity and the protection of information technology (IT) critical equipment, storage and data – especially during periods of increased power outages or load-shedding.
Eaton asserts that its Intelligent Power Manager (IPM) 2.0 provides the tools needed to monitor and manage power devices in a physical or virtual environment. The newly upgraded software was rebuilt on the company’s Brightlayer digital platform and includes disaster-avoidance functionalities as well as a host of new features.
“The risks inherent in this type of environment make energy management all the more critical, which is why we have redesigned our IPM software to further automate energy management and ensure business continuity across a wide range of applications,” says Eaton product manager Jaco du Plooy.
Available in three different editions, namely Monitor, Manage and Optimize, IPM is designed to meet varying power management requirements. The latest edition features a redesigned user interface, more options to automate critical processes, and enhanced visualisation and contextualisation options to better understand the status of IT equipment from anywhere and at any time.
The risk of cyberattacks is also minimised through the integration of the Gigabit network card and ModBus card, said to be the first in the industry to be UL 2900-2-2 and IEC-62443 certified for cybersecurity.
