Eaton and Cisco

Eaton helps maximize the value of your investment by offering fully integrated, scalable solutions that simplify power complexity for your network, integrated infrastructure or entire data center.

Integrated Infrastructures are designed to be resilient but still need clean power to operate without interruption. Think of Eaton as the fifth element of a complete integrated infrastructure, providing, distributing and managing power alongside servers, storage, networking and virtualization. Without Eaton, your integrated infrastructure system will be missing the crucial fifth element that ensures it’s available and running for you at critical times.

Eaton Intelligent Power Manager (IPM) software integrates with Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) to give you unprecedented control against damage and downtime within your IT environment. With this integration, we ensure safe operation and business continuity and together with Cisco, we help you save time, save money and reduce risk.

IPM collaborates with Cisco UCS Manager to enable you to set power consumption limits to each UCS blade or rack server. By consuming less energy, the server will need less power during an outage, conserving battery runtime and maximizing your system uptime. Additionally the server will expend less heat which helps regulate rack temperature.
