Remote Power Management

Uplogix offers an optional robust power management feature that enables you to monitor and control power remotely. Envoy can be set to automatically manage power, or can allow an authorized IT administrator to manually control individual power outlets, create logical groupings, monitor current, and control power-up sequencing. This power management option takes the headache out of power cycling devices in remote locations, eliminating truck rolls and saving you valuable time.

Envoy's power monitoring and management capabilities include:

• Power utilization monitoring | Collects power draw from the power unit at regular intervals to provide an accurate view of power consumption that can be used for capacity planning. By monitoring the power draw, Envoy can immediately alert administrators when it hits pre-defined thresholds.
• Enhanced security | Integrates seamlessly with RADIUS, TACACS and other authentication mechanisms to provide very granular levels of access and control, such as power cycling only specified outlets of shared power units
• Remote access | Eliminates the need for human intervention by providing always-on connectivity to the power units to reduce errors, mean-time-to-recovery and support costs
• Independent control and redundancy | Independently controls outlets on power units to provide power management for specific devices. Supports daisy-chained power units, providing redundancy in the remote power management solution.
• Executing complex procedures | Automates hardware-specific tasks that often require sub-second specialized commands and interactions during the power-on self test cycle to facilitate complicated recovery interactions.
