Eaton Visual Power Manager (VPM) software provides IT managers of data centres and distributed IT environments with the tools to monitor their power devices – including all UPSs and PDUs. Part of the Brightlayer Data Centers suite, this HTML5-based platform is easy to deploy, simplifies day-to-day monitoring and helps maintain business continuity. VPM’s comprehensive reporting software saves you time, allowing you to stay on top of power management while focusing on the bigger picture – running your IT infrastructure. Additionally, VPM helps you to monitor power equipment, supply predefined and customised reports, initiate mass firmware and configuration commands and deliver a visual layout of your data centre and IT environment, making it simple to stay in tune with trends in your environment while identifying and resolving any issues.
Up-to-the-minute statistics and reporting provides a quick way to identify potential issues through two VPM licensing levels:
“With VPM, I am now able to see and control our entire power environment. I can watch the power cycle and if there’s an issue, see where it’s coming from and remedy it as needed.”
