Eaton’s Latest Intelligent Power Manager Software Strengthens Integration with VMware Site Recovery Manager
September 2014 by Marc Jacob
Power management company Eaton today announced the launch of its Intelligent Power Manager™ software
version 1.43 which now features even tighter integration with VMWare® vCenter’s Site Recovery Manager
(SRM). As a result, the new software allows IT managers to automatically trigger SRM data replication
caused by environmental or power alarms. This increases ease of use and reliability of both physical and
virtual IT systems, which in turn enhances business continuity.
Eliminating the need to download additional modules for deployment, the new Intelligent Power Manager
software is pre-configured to operate with VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager. The software identifies
power and environment events immediately, automatically synchronises virtual machines and triggers
VMware Site Recovery Manager’s disaster recovery failover and planned migration processes.
Eaton is an Elite-level member of the VMware Technology Alliance Partner program and its Intelligent Power
Manager software is certified VMware Ready™ on the VMware® vSphere® 5.5 virtualisation platform. In
addition, the software provides integration capabilities to other leading virtualisation platforms including
Microsoft Hyper V, Citrix Xen and Red Hat KVM.
The basic
license covers management of up to 10 connected devices and is free of charge. Silver and Gold licenses
including the SRM integration module and management of more devices can also be purchased.
