@dafyre it's the little things that count!

BRRABill

@BRRABill We do! Our UPSgrade program allows you to trade in your old UPS and get a new model at a discount. We also dispose of our old equipment in an environmentally sound manner for you. Eaton.com/UPSgrade

Hi ... I now remember looking at this in the past. It says to contact a reseller for more information on the program. And I think my reseller was a little unclear.

Can you give us some information here on the AMA?

@JaredBusch They can report status, but you're unable to take any action on the ones that do not have the network card.

Great. Actions are not needed, as I will only use those models on desktops and such places where actions are not required.

@BRRABill for one thing - our people love being a part of communities like SW and now ML. thanks for having us! we've learned a ton by engaging with the individuals...and I think the users appreciate the engagement on the vendor side of things!

In addition to having knowledgeable people who are engaged, we have a full suite of quality products. We're Eaton now but we have a few decades of power management experience through acquired companies, including Deltec, Best Power, Powerware and Exide Electronics.

@mdecamp and Mike worked for all of them!

Can all the information from all UPS models be read via SNMP or do you supply specific software?

I had more hair when I worked for those companies.

@art_of_shred tons! the more feedback we can get the better. we have reviews on CDW as well. we do beta testing, panels, and are always asking for feedback from users. when we get a chance we like to spotlight our users stories with case studies and videos found here: http://switchon.eaton.com/plug/case-studies and eaton.com/pqsuccess

@JaredBusch Yeah, you should be good to go. If you haven't already downloaded the software, give it a try. Just make sure it provides what you need! We love feedback as well! Eaton.com/IntelligentPower

Where does the name Eaton come from?

JColeKen

@nadnerB They can be read through SNMP or our Intelligent Power Manager software. However, you prefer!

Is EATON going to be at next years MangoCon? Curious to see what you might bring and be able to demo.

JColeKen

@nadnerB A long time ago...in a far away galaxy...

I've been a little caught up with the Gravatar issue and getting vendor accounts set up. But... Welcome!

And to all the Eaton folks in the top page list... all of your accounts are vendor accounts now. In your profile you can go under "Groups" and choose "Vendor" and you will display your vendor tag.

That's a great idea! Inquiring minds want to know.

What is your representation like in the Australia/New Zealand region?

Do you have an office or just minions that sell stuff (Channel partners?)
