Eaton 5P UPS

Eaton has announced the availability of the Eaton 5P UPS backup power solution providing IT managers with a suite of upgraded features and higher efficiency. The Eaton 5P UPS has an intuitive, graphical LCD that shows key analytics while it meters energy consumption and enables remote outlet switching.

The UPS is claimed to provide up to 98% efficiency and integrates seamlessly with all major virtualisation software, including VMware and Hyper-V.

The UPS also includes pure sinewave output. When operating in battery mode, the 5P UPS provides a high-quality output signal for any sensitive equipment connected, such as active power factor corrected servers.

Individually controlled outlets maximise backup time, and provide remote reboot and sequential start-up. Hot-swappable batteries allow easy replacement of the batteries without powering down connected loads. Eaton’s ABM battery management technology uses a three-stage charging technique that only recharges the battery when necessary, so the battery experiences less corrosion. This can prolong service life by up to 50%.

The product offers high-density power protection in tower and rack 1U format up to 1.5 kVA. Power management capabilities include USB and serial ports and a slot for optional SNMP/Web card.

Load segment control also enables prioritised shutdowns of non-essential equipment to maximise battery runtime for critical devices. Load segment control can also be used to remotely reboot locked-up network equipment to manage scheduled shutdowns and sequential start-ups.

The 5P UPS can be configured in a rackmount or tower form factor to cater for various deployment applications.
