Protection using Network Shutdown Module v3
Data integrity in case of electrical power failure
To ensure system and data integrity, a computer operating
system must be properly shutdown. In order to do that, a software module must be installed on the protected servers.
Network Shutdown Module v3 is MGE's solution for servers to automate
various functions. It :
 Continuously waits for information from the Management Proxy or Management Card connected to the MGE UPS;
Warns administrators and users if AC power fails and proceeds with graceful system shutdown before the end of battery backup power is reached.
Benefits
Simple installation
No limiting installation pre-requisites (like IIS or JVM or ...)
Silent installation possibility for application roll out
Simple use through intuitive Web interface
Improved graphical Look & Feel
Graphical easy and assisted electrical configuration layout
High Security level installed by default (2 level password, Http & Https )
Remote and multi-OS access through Web browser

Additional Features
Compatibility with the major power redundancy modes. This means MGE has currently the only system able to intelligently and dynamically handle system shutdown
of servers protected by N UPS, including load transfer from one UPS to another,
impact on backup time estimation etc. All this without requesting additional hardware or proxy software...
