@art_of_shred You can monitor temperature and humidity with one of our environmental monitoring probes. It also ties directly in with the software for monitoring purposes. https://powerquality.eaton.com/Products-services/Power-Management/Connectivity/emp.asp

Mangos are very underated!

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

@gjacobse Our UPS units run a battery test every 30 days, set standard from the factory. If you prefer, you can increase the frequency. Utilizing the software can also provide you a live look at your current battery capacity.

@JaredBusch Around $3,500-$4,000, not including the automatic transfer switch.

@dafyre Our offering is a liquid propane or natural gas generator, so no diesel. The electrical wiring, installation, and the ATS would be additional costs.

@art_of_shred 70-80% is a safe bet. Sometimes it is lower, but that is typically what I default to when sizing.

@DustinB3403 It would be completely dependent on the full list of equipment, but we can definitely make a recommendation for you. With our IPM software, we can load shed some of the non-critical VMs and hosts during an outage to extend runtime. That can make it quite a bit more affordable for you and you can avoid having to purchase as many battery packs to achieve that runtime. What hypervisor are you utilizing?

@JaredBusch Yes, all network card capable models can be tracked. Ones with a network card will be auto-detected and pulled into the main Intelligent Power Manager software screen. For those with a USB connection, it would require it to be loaded locally due to the limited communication capability on those units.

@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

@art_of_shred Actual operating load is the most practical.

@dafyre Cha-ching!

@BRRABill There are a few things that go into it. One is the level of protection...that is typically the most important. Others included extended battery capability and network capability (many more, just naming a few). In some cases you may only require a certain level of protection and limited communication/extended run capability, so in those cases you'd be fine running a lower end UPS (less feature rich). But in general,we try to make it easy for someone off the street that knows nothing about UPS to be able to purchase protection for their "servers" and make sure that offering will provide them everything they would be required.

@JaredBusch Agreed, MSRP would be nice along with getting a quote. I'll be sure to pass your feedback along. We're always updating tools! Continued work in progress.

@gjacobse Nailed it! Absolutely! Advanced Battery Management is a huge features for us to help our customers extend battery life. @windso enough with the acronyms! Haha!
