Schneider Electric Releases PowerChute™ Network Shutdown v4.0
The software is designed for optimal power protection of virtual cluster environments.
Schneider Electric has announced the release of PowerChute Network Shutdown v4.0, now with advanced redundancy capabilities. This includes a new Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) configuration option which enables IT managers to monitor multiple groups of redundant UPSs, allowing for seamless, graceful shutdown commands based on the number of UPSs and their configured redundancy levels. This unique feature also allows users to add increased redundancy for their IT equipment when necessary, providing IT managers with the flexibility needed to ensure their most critical equipment is available for as long as possible.
“Due to the growing trend of virtualization, IT architectures have evolved into increasingly complex systems, with many IT managers struggling with how to not only manage but protect their multiple servers across varying locations,” said Paul Bohan, Vice President, Network Management, IT Business, Schneider Electric. “PowerChute Network Shutdown v4.0’s seamless integration, migration and shutdown capabilities give IT managers the peace of mind that their entire virtualized and physical IT infrastructure is protected from potential power events or outages — no matter their location.”
