1 ICT Infrastructure Solutions Real power for virtualisation

2 Why Eaton? When it comes to the power infrastructure for virtual environments, Eaton is a pioneer. We offer a number of significant advantages. Virtual machine management for business continuity Extend runtime in a virtual environment Improve productivity with free software plug-in to vcenter Minimise downtime by automatically initiating virtual moves Save valuable time as there is no need to install shutdown software on all physical host servers Prevent data loss with graceful shutdown of virtual machines (VMs) Initiates real-time cloud backup to facilitate disaster avoidance Monitoring and management of power and efficiency Reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills with high efficiency portfolio Identify opportunities for efficiency improvements through metering and energy consumption analysis Save money by preventing service calls to remote locations and prevent unauthorised access with epdu and UPS managed outlets (remotely turn power outlets on and off) Virtualisation solutions for SMB Environments Small and medium businesses have a plenty of options when it comes to developing and/or overhauling IT infrastructure. However, making the right selection and then implementing it can be an extremely complex process. Eaton offers unparalleled expertise when it comes to defining the proper rack enclosures, backup power, power distribution and power management. In other words, you have an opportunity to expand your offerings and expertise with the support of Eaton. Eaton is well positioned now and for the future to respond to multiple market drivers: 1. Accelerating business processes and execution Manage server loads (virtual machines) during power outages to extend runtime Redundant UPS configurations 2. Economic value return, including revenues and costs Energy efficient UPS models Reduced product footprint occupies less rack and floor space 3. Information asset leverage Power consumption monitoring Access your power and virtual network through a single pane of glass 4. Risk management If your customers aren t thinking about power, their business could suffer Reliable products and support services to mitigate risks Avoid disaster by moving server workloads within your data center or to a cloud backup site Eaton your consultants for power and IT infrastructure Our field and inside sales teams work in concert to deliver the expertise your clients demand in the following five-pronged approach: Our field and inside sales teams along with our partners work in concert to deliver the expertise you demand to: 1. Drive business value 2. Strategic planning: Driving power assessments 3. Technical competency: What to deliver and how 4. Sales execution: How to close opportunities 5.

3 Real power for virtualisation Eaton s solutions integrate seamlessly into VMware s vcenter, Citrix s XenCenter and Microsoft s SCVMM dashboards. Not only do our products solve your power problems with both the reliability and flexibility you require to adapt to an ever-changing virtual infrastructure, but we also back up those products with software that expands the capabilities of a virtual environment creating a strategic, maximised asset. Virtual desktop infrastructure solutions Eaton s IPM software allows IT managers to manage and move VMs. Virtual desktop infrastructures (VDI) are themselves VMs; if there is a power disruption, we can move the VDI to a safe place. Eaton solutions fully integrate with VMware View or Citrix XenCenter/Xen Desktop. Private/hybrid cloud deployment Due to its strong open source commitment, Eaton has partnerships in place with several cloud orchestrator platforms such as the following: OpenStack Eucalyptus Shutdown virtual Eaton's IPM integrates seamlessly into VMware's vcenter dashboard VMware Citrix Microsoft Red Hat machines migration Trigger live Manage virtual machines and power through a single pane of glass Receive real time notification of power outages Virtual Desktop Infrastructure integration Shutdown a host in a cluster without the need to install software on each host Virtual appliance * * * Disaster avoidance, recovery site backup Cost Free up to 10 nodes (UPS or epdu) * OVF compliant; fully tested on VMware 3

4 Virtualisation IT infrastructure There are tremendous advantages to virtualisation. There are also challenges related to power and infrastructure. Key points of impact Extra racks discarded, sold or repurposed Rack power distribution units no longer compatible with new virtual servers that use different, higher power plugs More power per rack More heat generated per rack Servers more fully utilised Bigger switches for greater bandwidth Before With fewer physical servers, customers who virtualize can condense their footprint. 4 eaton ICT Infrastructure solutions

5 Virtualisation IT infrastructure Eaton provides solutions in the following three layers: Physical 1 IT racks with baffles and cable management systems Rack power distribution 2 Rack PDU units. 3 Rack Power Modules eliminate the need for a dedicated infrastructure rack Uninterruptible power systems (UPS) for N, N+1 and N+2 redundancy configurations. Highly efficient UPSs reduce energy consumption Rack-based UPS End-of-row UPS Desktop/PC UPS Power consumption and monitoring 7 Outlet-level power monitoring and management Management and control 8 Power management software optimised for virtualisation After Post-power assessment: Sample capability deployment 5

6 Consolidating IT infrastructure When consolidating IT infrastructure while keeping existing rack enclosures and servers, Eaton offers unique capabilities to enhance ROI and operational cost savings through the following: Outlet-level power monitoring and management Our combination of rack PDUs and Intelligent Power software enable your customers to monitor and manage power at the outlet level. A Power Feed B Power Feed Power Monitor power consumption Outlet level monitoring and management. Monitor power consumed by each server. Remote management Save money by preventing service calls to remote locations and prevent unauthorised access with epdu managed outlets (remotely turn outlets on and off). Customization: open source software With a free download of the Eaton software development kit, you have access to a library of drivers that can be used with Eaton power devices and many commercially available operating systems. As a reseller, you can offer this customisation capability as value addition to design solutions to fit customer requirements. Reduce power consumption Help customers to identify orphan servers to reduce power consumption. Remote monitoring of temperature and humidity Eaton s Environmental Monitoring Probe plugs into Web/ SNMP cards and select epdus, and enables you to remotely monitor the temperature, humidity, and status of devices. This can be done via a standard Web browser, providing greater management control and flexible monitoring. Installation is simple and you get notification should temperatures change outside of normal range. You can also initiate alarm thresholds and initiate system shutdown at critical levels. 6 eaton ICT Infrastructure solutions

7 Remote and satellite offices HD cable organizers Rack power distribution unit Rack cable management Given the dependency on the cloud, redundancy, connectivity and security are more critical than ever before. Whether tapping into a public cloud or private cloud, remote offices need the proper IT equipment: Local storage Print/share server Switches/routers/hubs/wireless Firewall Virtual desktops Mobile devices (phone/pc/tablet) Strain relief bars Temperature/Humidity probe Web/SNMP card UPS backup power Extended battery module Organization Keep servers, switches and storage equipment safe and secure Clear the rack area of cluttered network cables Improve airflow and reduce cooling costs Secure equipment from unauthorised access Protection Distribute and provide safe and clean power to IT equipment during power outages, surges and voltage problems Provide reliable and redundant power solutions for critical systems Maintain service level agreements Eaton software allows for server workload protection, whether moving to available internal servers or moving to cloud-based backup recovery site Management View your power network and all equipment attached to it from your remote/virtual machine console Aggregate multiple UPS/power instances Monitor your temperature/humidity environment Receive instant access to alerts and monitor your environment remotely Initiate a virtual machine move or graceful shutdown in the event of an extended outage Water leak detector 7
