MGE UPS Systems has released its new UPS Web-Pac software to the market. This new power management software, when used in conjunction with MGE's new XML-Web cards or XML-@gent, provides comprehensive and highly secure management of network-attached uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems from anywhere on the network. As an industry innovator in distributed power protection solutions based on TCP/IP and SNMP protocols, MGE's new Web-Pac management software is the first to offer Secure Socket Layer (SSL) security that enables safe remote monitoring and control.

Using a standard Web browser, remote users have a graphical view of real-time UPS operating characteristics, monitoring up to 250 servers. Moreover, administrators can use their browser to receive power alarms and set up automatic actions. During extended power outages, Web-Pac can securely launch an automatic shutdown of PCs and servers in a heterogeneous environment, assuring a safe and orderly shutdown of systems. An automatic reboot of systems can also be scheduled upon power restoration.

UPS Web-Pac comprises agent and client modules for easy administration. The agent acts as a connection module between the UPS and the network. It can reside on the UPS as an embedded agent running on an XML Web Card or as a software module running on a network-attached computer with a serial connection to the UPS. The client is a software module residing on a UPS-protected server administering local shutdown and monitoring functions. Because the connection modules use JavaTM technology, the XML clients can adapt to all operating systems, including JavaTM Virtual Machine (JVMTM), making Web-Pac the most open power management solution on the market today. (NOTE: The terms "Java virtual machine" and "JVM" mean a virtual machine for the Java platform.)

UPS Web-Pac complements MGE's robust power management software offerings for PCs, LANs/WANs and enterprise-wide networks. The new software will initially support Windows 2000/NT/XP, SolarisTM Operating Environment (Solaris OE), HP-UX and Linux Red Hat with support for additional operating systems soon to follow.
