MGE UPS Introduces Power Protection Solution for Network Services
📅 - MGE UPS Systems (mgeups.com), a global leader inhigh-availability power solutions, yesterday introduced its new CometEXtreme Uninterruptible Power Supply that is one of the industry's smallestUPS systems to provide over an hour of scalable power protection in acompact tower or rack configuration.
Ideal for networks, B2B, e-commerce and other critical applications, theComet EXtreme's modular design allows users to easily scale the UPS as theirrequirements grow, saving space and resources. The introduction of the CometEXtreme is part of MGE's ''Bring on the Blackouts'' campaign to helpbusinesses ride through ongoing energy problems across the nation.
MGE says the new Comet EXtreme family provides unsurpassed power protectionfor enterprise applications and other vital peripherals with on-linedouble-conversion technology, providing instantaneous backup power and thehighest level of power quality essential for today's demanding B2B,e-services and CRM applications. These new UPS systems also feature:
High performance and reliability with online double-conversiontechnology for maximum uptime and battery performanceHigh availability with planned redundancy options and hot-swapbattery functions that allow maintenance without interrupting power toprotected applicationsBattery extension modules to increase battery backup time up to 100minutesEase-of-use with simple installation, intuitive display and maximumcompatibility
The new rack-mount and tower Comet EXtreme provides customers with increasedflexibility, power capacity and manageability for enterprise systems runningon a variety of platforms. The new series includes four power configurations(4.5kVA, 6kVA, 9kVA and 12kVA) to meet a broad range of requirements fromentry-level enterprise servers to large server systems. The Comet EXtreme isideal for dynamic environments with expanding number of servers, hubs,routers and other rack-mounted equipment.
For many servers and Internet devices, the standard 10 minutes of backuptime is not enough to ride through extended power disturbances. Users canconnect additional battery and charger modules to obtain over an hour ofbattery backup time. Hot-swap functionality allows easy addition orreplacement of battery modules without interrupting the supply of power toconnected systems.
Users can service the inverter module and/or replace batteries withoutinterrupting the supply of power to the connected equipment. In addition,users will be able to combine two Comet EXtreme UPS modules to obtain aredundant power solution. The new systems also feature an advanced level ofbattery management with a built-in battery charger that greatly reducesbattery recharge time, recovering 80 percent of backup time in just twohours and 45 minutes.
Offering the maximum level of hardware protection in a high-availabilityInternetworking environment also requires an enhanced level ofcommunication. To fulfill this need, the Comet EXtreme features RS232communications for easy connection as well as a selection of optional cardsthat enable a host of communications capabilities for interactive local andremote power management. With the optional SNMP card, users can monitor,manage and conduct automatic orderly system shutdowns of remoteUPS-protected devices via any SNMP monitor.
The new UPS units also include MGE's robust Solution-Pac power managementsoftware for Windows 95/98/2000, NT, Novell NetWare, SCO Unix v.3.0, SCOOpenserver 5.0, and Linux. With an intuitive GUI, the software assuresautomatic orderly shutdown of unattended servers during extended outages,automatic reboot, remote monitoring as well as alarm condition notificationvia email, fax and pager. MultiSlot also provides orderly shutdown ofmultiple operating systems in a heterogeneous environment.
