SGI Unveils UPSafe Range of UPSs

July 02, 2000 by Jeff Shepard

SGI Global Services (Mountain View, CA) unveiled a full range of UPSafe customizable uninterruptible power supplies. The new systems are designed to provide uninterruptible power, power monitoring software and support.

UPSafe solutions match the current range of SGI products, including scalable, modular and redundant solutions. UPSafe solutions also offer software compatibility with any operating system supported by SGI. Protection during blackouts includes a user-defined, planned shutdown for client-server environments. All solutions are bundled with network monitoring software that logs power events and broadcasts a shutdown warning to networked systems prior to an automated power-down sequence. Multiple power modules enable redundant power-share. Additional battery modules may be purchased to extend backup time during power outages.

“Electricity is literally the lifeblood of today's technology-intensive businesses," commented Jorge Helmer, senior vice preside of SGI. “UPSafe solutions provide customers with everything they need in one package to ensure the availability of clean, uninterruptible power. Each UPSafe solution is approved and tested by SGI to precisely match the characteristics of SGI products and meet their unique requirements. And, most importantly, UPSafe is an all-in-one offering from a single source, which means customers benefit from the life-cycle support and expertise of the company that knows SGI best."
