Data/trend analysis helps predict, and
prevent, power-related events that can compromise system availability.
PowerVision can graph up to 20 traces or channels simultaneously to
determine cause-and-effect relationships between recorded events and
corresponding pieces of equipment. PowerVision is also capable of
projecting historical data into the future so that users can envision
potential scenarios. All of this functionality translates to
predicting and preventing failures in data centers and networks.
-
True client/server architecture allows you
flexibility and control for monitoring the power throughout the
network.
-
Database archive stores up to six months’
worth of data. This data is used in conjunction with the graphing and
analysis tools to identify trends to predict potential vulnerabilities
to the power systems.
-
Alarm management select from a wide range
of alarm notification methods, including audible alarms, a dialogue
box that is prominently displayed on the screen, and a stoplight color
scheme that shows any problems and their severity. Channels that are
in an alarm state can be sorted so that you can manage alarms with
maximum efficiency.
-
Message management provides an intuitive
approach to assigning UPS events to appropriate actions. The
configuration tool can be deployed on both the client and the server.
Action messages include: e-mail, network broadcast, alpha/numeric
paging and SNMP traps.
-
Web-enabled access enables the UPS status
to be monitored from any standard web browser, anywhere in the world.
This allows flexibility in response to alarm pages, emails or other
conditions.
-
Multitasking server allows all operations
to occur simultaneously while all devices and channels are being
monitored.
-
Multiple remote monitoring connections
allow the server data to be viewed at anytime from anywhere.
Connections are made via a TCP/IP connection on the local area network
or through dial-up networking.
-
Optional Modbus gateway furnishes an
interface for use with the Modicon Modbus® protocol to provide current
data for selected devices. Employing a serial connection to the
server, the PowerVision Modbus gateway allows selective reporting of
critical channels to supervisory systems such as a Building Management
System (BMS). All interactions are initiated by the BMS and take the
form of a query-response transaction with PowerVision server, where
the device data resides.
-
Optional SNMP virtual agent can send SNMP
traps to a variety of network management systems (NMS) for alarm
notification to a centralized location.
-
Intuitive client interface provides
graphical tools such as icons, buttons, menus and "hot keys" to make
navigation simple. Equipment renderings are incorporated into each
equipment view to give a high degree of familiarity to users. One-line
diagrams are used to convey the operational status of the UPS
