Eaton 5P UPS Provides Integrated Power Backup, Management and Monitoring for Virtualized Environments
Eaton Corp. announced the latest addition to its backup power portfolio, the Eaton 5P uninterruptible power system (UPS), an enterprise-class power management and battery backup solution with industry-leading efficiency for network closets and small data centers. The 5P supports entry-level virtualization strategies through seamless integration with Eaton’s Intelligent Power Software Suite™, and enhances equipment protection by combining remote metering and power hardware management capabilities with 28 percent more wattage than traditional UPSs.
"As businesses embrace cloud computing and virtualization, many are outgrowing the power capacity of their existing UPSs and need to be able to manage their power more closely," said Hervè Tardy, vice president and general manager, Eaton’s Distributed Power Quality Division. "The 5P UPS is designed to provide a solution for those venturing into new computing models, and is designed to provide enhanced visibility into power consumption to make informed decisions to improve system uptime and enhance business performance."
A graphical LCD display built into the front of the UPS enables IT and data center managers to view detailed information and customize all UPS settings at the push of a button. Through the display and seamless integration with Eaton’s power management software, users are provided complete insight into UPS power usage, efficiency and load, enabling better management of electrical consumption and energy footprint.

The Eaton Intelligent Power Software Suite, an innovative pairing of power management and protection software, is included at no cost with the 5P. By integrating the software suite with the 5P, users can seamlessly integrate with VMware’s vCenter Server™ virtualization management solution, as well as virtualization platforms such as Citrix® XenServer, Microsoft SCVMM™, Red Hat® and other Xen® open source platforms. The integration enables automatic and transparent live migration of virtual machines (VMs) during power disruptions to unaffected devices, and also provides a graceful shutdown of computers, VMs and servers during an extended power outage.
The Eaton 5P UPS models range from 1,500 VA (1,440W) to 3,000 VA (2,700W). The unit also features Eaton’s ABM® technology that increases battery service life by 50 percent, enabling each 5P UPS, and its batteries, to be backed by an industry-leading three-year warranty. The 5P is available for order in North America with prices starting at $746.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
