Supervision using Enterprise Power Manager v2
Easy supervision of a group of UPS systems
Enterprise Power Manager v2 is MGE's supervision tool designed to manage networked UPS systems more easily and at lower cost than the major NMS platforms, as well as being dedicated to power management functions.
The manager uses a simple and powerful representation mode to create his electrical supervision diagram using a simple web browser. Then the manager could work with an overall, consolidated view of the main operating parameters of all the UPS systems (even competition one), and could supervise servers hosting the Network Shutdown Module V3 application. This information is accessible from any workstation using a standard Web browser.
He can easily sort UPS views according to the most critical parameters (location, system status, etc). Alarms are centralised and transmitted, if required, by e-mail or SMS. The log of events and operations helps preventive management of the UPS network. Nevertheless maintenance could also be scheduled and completely automatized.
Simple
to deploy, using industry standards
When installed, Enterprise Power Manager v2 can carry out a "quickscan" function to discover in a wink all connected UPS systems (even competition one), for all servers using Network Shutdown Module v3 and other power management units (PDUs, midspans, STSs, etc). The result is then presented with a layout (in several different ways) that can be configured easily, as required, according to the type of UPS, location, operating status, etc...
Very advanced
power supply control
Clicking on an UPS in the layout shows detailed information about the operating and configuration parameters (including three phase measurements) in a dedicated window. Complex UPS architectures (parrallel configuration, with STS, etc) can also be shown and easily managed. In a few clicks, Enterprise Power Manager let you access to very detailed statistical reports.
Enterprise Power Manager uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and several levels of password (administrator, user, etc) for complete security.
Simple,
economical and scalable
A version limited to 5 UPS is available free with each network UPS. This version can also be used to evaluate the software for a more extensive network before purchasing an Enterprise Power Manager for 50 or more UPS systems.
More, MGE offers a free software update for Enterprise Power Manager.
Supervision
using a Web browser
UPS systems can be supervised using a standard Web browser to provide details
of all UPS parameters, measurements and settings, from any point in the
network, simply using the IP address of each UPS.
Supervision using a Network Management System
Enterprise network administrators have the same level of details for UPS systems as for servers and switches using one of the snap-ins designed for
the best known Network Management Systems, such as HP OpenView, IBM Tivoli
and CA Unicenter. MGE UPSs meet SNMP standards (MIB RFC 1628 or MIB MGE),
which cover all the MGE UPS SYSTEMS product specific functions. They can
be easily incorporated into Network Management Systems or server management
systems such as HP/Compaq Insight Manager 7 for auto- detection, monitoring,
colour-coded alarms on each device's icon, etc.

Additional
functions
Remote On/Off Control
As a UPS can be turned on and off remotely, it becomes a smart IT equipment
switch.
This function makes it possible, for example, to re-start a locked-up hardware
device from a remote site.
The parameters for automatic or manual mode can be enabled
Programming
This function can be used to program shutdown and re-start sequences for
all UPS protected devices such as, for example, shutting down servers every
evening at 08:00 PM and re-starting them the following morning at 06:00
AM, Monday through Friday.
Individual
outlet control
Many systems from MGE provide PowershareTM capability for turning groups
of outlets on and off.
This feature is useful in particular for:
 shedding non-critical systems when there is a power failure;
defining start-up sequences;
individual management of several IT systems connected to a central UPS.
