“Because we had a big power circuit available, a hardwired UPS was an option, but we also considered outlet-based UPSs. The best choice will depend on a company’s physical infrastructure, coupled with their power and runtime requirements.”
“We wanted to be able to survive the loss of one power module, as well as extend runtime if an outage occurred during off-hours. I’m going for 24-hour-a-day uptime, so even if I’m not on site, I wanted enough runtime to be able to either power shed or shut down gracefully if needed.”
“My business is very focused on IT security so the fact that this card meets all those standards is really big. Just think about what a hacker can do if they’re able to shut down a UPS.”
Virtualization Advisors also deployed the Eaton Environmental Monitoring Probe (EMP) Gen 2, which enables users to collect temperature and humidity readings in rack enclosures and monitor environmental data remotely. Compatible with UPSs and PDUs, the EMP Gen 2 features a translucent case and integrated LED to positively identify the status of each sensor at a glance. Each EMP provides one temperature, one humidity and two dry-contact status data points.
To round off its comprehensive power protection solution, Virtualization Advisors installed Eaton Managed Rack PDUs, which enable monitoring and control of critical factors such as voltage, current and power factor while providing remote on/off outlet switching to allow users to reboot connected equipment.
"Eaton was able to bring a total solution to the table that covered all of the issues and we were able to run it from an IT-centric model."
