SOLARIS X86 SOLUTIONS
APC PowerChute Plus for Solaris x86
American Power Conversion(R) (APC), the market leader in
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems for LANs and mission-
critical applications, now offers its PowerChute Plus(R) UPS
monitoring and control application for SunSoft's Solaris(TM) x86
and Solaris SPARC(R) operating environments.
APC's Smart-UPS(R), Back-UPS(R) and Matrix-UPS(TM) systems provide
full-time power protection from surges, spikes, brownouts,
blackouts, EMI/RFI noise and any other conditions that threaten
Solaris system integrity. Used with those UPS systems, PowerChute
Plus UPS management and control software for Solaris x86 and
Solaris SPARC ensures graceful, automatic unattended shutdown in
the event of extended power failures. PowerChute Plus monitors
power quality and UPS status in real time; a GUI display enables
the system administrator to quickly recognize and address power
problems.
A Stable, Open Platform
Solaris x86 is a powerful and versatile UNIX(R) operating
environment for the Intel(R) x86 platform. Designed as a
foundation for enterprise computing, it supports major industry
standards and provides high-performance 32-bit UNIX multitasking,
multithreading and multiuser capabilities. Solaris x86 is
compatible with Solaris SPARC, ensuring full interoperability
between the leading CISC (x86) and RISC (SPARC) platforms. And
Solaris x86 is scalable from desktops to supercomputers, so that
customers can configure heterogeneous enterprise networks and
expand them easily as their computing needs evolve.
Solaris x86 provides native ONC+(TM) technology-based LAN and WAN
networking to support broadly distributed computing and system
management. Solaris also includes powerful application and
Graphical User Interface (GUI) development tools through the
OpenWindows(TM) facility, and a rich suite of user productivity
applications under DeskSet(TM). Numerous commercial third-party
applications, including many Microsoft(R) Windows and DOS
applications, run in the Solaris x86 environment.
PowerChute Plus Features and Benefits
* Graceful system shutdown in case of
extended power failures or disturbances; maintains system
integrity even if affected systems are unattended or attended by
untrained personnel
* Scheduled local or remote automatic UPS
testing identifies batteries in need of replacement; increases
system reliability
* With APC Smart-UPS or Matrix-UPS,
interactive GUI displays real-time status for UPS and power
events; system administrators can diagnose problems as they
occur, and "tune" UPS operating characteristics to a particular
installation
* Scheduled shutdowns of systems not in
use reduce total network energy use, by up to 75% in a typical 40
hour work week
* Historical logs enable system
administrators to diagnose "mystery" crashes, reboots, keyboard
lockups and other power-related failures; this function replaces
systems costing $2,000 or more
