New Eaton 5SC UPS Provides Affordable and Reliable Power Protection for Small Business Servers, Storage and Network Equipment
Date: September 17, 2013
RALEIGH, N.C. … Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton today announced the release of the Eaton 5SC uninterruptible power system (UPS) in North America, delivering affordable and reliable power protection for small business servers, storage and network equipment. The 5SC rounds out the robust Eaton 5 Series product portfolio and complements the 5S, 5P and 5PX UPSs. The 5 Series product family provides advanced feature sets with industry-leading power management software and the best price to performance ratio of the 5-Series class.
As a cost-effective information technology (IT) solution, the new 5SC follows in the footsteps of Eaton’s industry-leading engineering reliability. It features a liquid crystal display (LCD) interface that provides a clear status of key UPS parameters, such as input and output voltage, load and battery level and estimated runtime. It is designed to protect tower servers, network-attached storage (NAS) and network equipment, and similar IT applications; and its compact footprint accommodates tight spaces, such as small network closets, medical offices, automatic teller machines (ATMs), ticket machines and kiosks.
“Eaton understands the needs of IT managers and their network equipment, and the 5SC delivers an affordable UPS with an easy-to-read display that serves as a personal dashboard to quickly and easily view status information and data,” said Hervé Tardy, vice president and general manager, Distributed Power Quality Division, Eaton. “The 5SC is accompanied by Eaton’s complimentary, award-winning Intelligent Power Manager® (IPM) software, which integrates seamlessly with leading virtualization platforms to automate live migration of virtual machines to ensure business continuity during power events.”
For additional manageability, the 5SC also features universal serial bus (USB) and serial connectivity. The USB port is human interface device (HID) compliant for automatic integration into Windows, Mac OS and Linux. When operating in battery mode, the 5SC provides a high quality output signal for any sensitive equipment connected. The 5SC also corrects a wide range of input voltage variations through continuous regulation without the use of batteries, and ensures consistent input voltage to the connected equipment.
In addition to service and support from battery replacement to full UPS service plans, Eaton offers a three-year warranty for the 5SC that covers both the UPS and the batteries. Equipped with Eaton’s exclusive ABM® technology, the 5SC also increases battery service life by 50 percent with easy front panel battery replacement to extend UPS service life.
The 5SC is available with a power rating range of 500 to 1500 volt-amperes (VA) across seven models. For more information about the new Eaton 5SC UPS, visit www.eaton.com/5SC.
Eaton’s IPM software recently won the “Best of VMworld 2013” Gold Award in the Virtualization Management category and received Best of Show recognition, beating more than 200 nominees and 160 products on display at the event.
