Running mission-critical applications and con-

necting widely-distributed nationwide and global

operations are key strategic initiatives in today’s

business organizations. The ability to provide a

steady, clean and undisturbed power flow to IT

hardware in the network is paramount in keeping

the systems available at all times.

However, the primary purpose of the IT infra-

structure is to process, store and protect the

information that is stored or en-route in the net-

work. The data itself, and the ability to move it

and process it at any given time, is priceless.

LanSafe power management software provides,

in combination with an uninterruptible power

system (UPS), the best possible protection for

this valuable data. Whether at home or at work,

LanSafe has you covered with its unique, proac-

tive risk-management features.

1. Prevent system crashes –

when a power failure outlasts the

UPS battery runtime, LanSafe auto-

matically performs a graceful operat-

ing system shutdown.

2. Avoid data loss –

LanSafe saves all work-in-progress.

3. Protect valuable applications –

LanSafe protects from corruption

by closing applications in an

orderly fashion.

4. Stay informed – monitor and receive

UPS alarms via network broadcasts,

SNMP, email, pager or mobile phone.

5. Control your power –

manage all UPSs on the network,

check battery health, and create

sequential shutdown scenarios.

6. Communicate with NMS -

integrates UPSs into the SNMP net-

work management system.
