Key Customer Needs

Key Needs Why It Matters?

Budgetary ConcernsConstrained IT budgets are reality and IT managers are constantly being driven for better utilization of existing

assets, especially in dynamic, virtual environments.

Green InitiativesGreen Initiatives are becoming the norm. IT managers are looking for ways to conserve energy and extend the useful life of equipment.

Ease of Use / Time

Simply things just need to work and not require a lot of setup. Additionally, time is one of the most limited assets an IT manager has. Anything that can be done to provide quick and pertinent information is key.

Protection / Peace of mindThe last thing an IT manager wants to worry about is power.

Integrated Total Solution

Gone are the days when a UPS can stand alone. Power protection is no longer about a battery in a box. It has to provide a way to operate as a integrated power management solution.

Market Drivers

Drivers Why It Matters?

Virtualization

New requirements to manage multiple virtual servers during power events.

More systems are riding on a single piece of hardware - single point of failure.

Need to be able to balance loads and move virtual servers in the case of a power event.

ManageabilityNeed to remotely manage networks.

Need alerts and updates when things go wrong or need maintenance

Cloud Computing

With the shift in resource demands inherent with cloud computing, the availability of networking equipment will be even more critical in order to access resources in the cloud.


Gone are the days when a UPS can stand alone. Power protection is no longer about a battery in a box. It has to provide a way to operate as a integrated power management solution.



Virtualization As A Game Changer

What is virtualization?

Virtualized world Physical world

Traditional x86 Architecture• Single OS image per machine• Software and hardware tightly coupled • Multiple applications often conflict• Underutilized resources

Traditional x86 Architecture• Single OS image per machine• Software and hardware tightly coupled • Multiple applications often conflict• Underutilized resources

Virtualization: • Separation of OS and hardware• OS and application contained in single file• Applications are isolated from one another• Hardware independence and flexibility

Virtualization Value Proposition

Increase productivity, operationalflexibility and responsiveness3

Reduce data center operating cost (e.g. power & cooling)

2

Reduce physical infrastructure cost1

8 8

Virtualization Environment

• Several physical servers running VMs can be managed as a group to enable:

• Live Migration:• Move VMs from one server to the

other in case of problems (like a power failure)

• Cluster operation• Each VM can run concurrently on

multiple physical servers for High Availability

So what does virtualization have to do with power?

Virtualization As Driving Force Behind Power Management Paradigm Shift

Legacy Eaton

UPS Monitoring

Outlet control

Server Shutdown

Virtual Host Shutdown

Cluster Shutdown

VM Live Migration

VM Fail-over Coming soon

Power Management has to be Virtualization-centric

Brian D Cox

Should we change Eaton to Future and remove reference to Eaton is the only UPS vendor with virtualiztion centric power management offering

11 11

Live Migration – to avoid power disruption

Moves applications from server facing imminent power disruption to server with good powerNomenclature: vMotion – VMware, XenMotion – Citrix, Live Migration – Microsoft

12 12

VM Consolidation – Extends Run Time

Suspend non-critical Virtual machines, Consolidate critical virtual machinesShut down un-used servers

13 13

VM Fail-over – Continual Uptime

Suspend non-critical Virtual Machines“Fail-over” critical Virtual machines to an available cloud

14 14

The Virtualization Wave

• Virtualization marketplace continues red-hot growth• Data Centers invest

• Standardization essential

• Eaton’s IPSS is “Virtualization Centric”• IPSS migrates IT applications, extends battery runtime

• Server shut-down becomes last resort

15 15

Eaton’s Numerous Industry Firsts for Virtualization

1st on Open-Source Virtualization Solutions

Eaton has released industry first integration Solution for Power Management and Protection on CITRIX XenServer and XenCenter, OpenSource Xen and RedHat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV)

On-going introductions of VMware integration “Firsts”

1st to provide Physical host graceful shutdown on vSphere – 2009

1st with Power Infrastructure Plug-in to vCenter Server – 2010

1st UPS able initiate vMotion – 2010

First to support vSphere 5 – 2011

16 16

Integration with vCenter

• Saves customers time and resourcesMonitor and manage power and network devices from the same application

• Enables live migration of VMs on power eventsZero downtime

• Enables server cluster shutdownSaves time: No need to install and setup one shutdown software per VM and/or Host.



Connectivity, Manageability and Useful Information

18 18

Why Power Management Software?

• Without communication, a UPS will perform its tasks …

• but your IT system could still be at risk:• If you are not warned of the remaining battery time in case of an extended power failure,

• Or if the UPS gets overloaded for too long.

• Communication can provide:• Real time notification of the UPS status …

• And lets you assign automatic actions to perform in case of any power event.

• Up to complete power sequences:• Application shutdown after a preset time on battery backup

• Operating system & server shutdown

• UPS shutdown

• UPS reboot on power restoration

• Server & operating system reboot

• Application reboot

Critical for systems running unattended at night!

Local / On-site

• NetworkThe network is more critical than ever. Without a constant uptime you have no access to your applications or data hosted in the cloud.

• Critical FunctionsMission critical functions and sensitive or proprietary data still have a tendency to stay on site and need to maintain protection and support
