Integration with Compaq Insight Manager Tight integration with Compaq Insight Manager to enhance remote management of multiple APC UPSs in Compaq server environments APC traditional and web-based power management software integration enables administrators to select Best of Breed UPSs and have system level server management. Integrated APC UPS events with the native Insight Manager event actions enhances diagnostic capabilities of Insight Manager. APC's unique data diagnostics log provides detailed level power information not available with the Compaq UPS. Breadth of APC management platform support with HP TopTools, Dell's OpenView SE, and IBM's NetFinity server management tools allows administrators to upgrade servers and still maintain integrated UPS support. Integrated UPS management support with enterprise management tools such as CA Unicenter, Tivoli TME/10, and HP Openview provides more robust network wide solution than Compaq. |
