MGE Revolutionizes Network Power Protection with New Pulsar Evolution UPS Family
COSTA MESA, Calif. - January 7, 2002 - MGE UPS SYSTEMS, the technology leader in uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) for enterprise networks and Internet servers, once again marks an industry first with the introduction of its new Pulsar Evolution UPS family. The Evolution is the perfect solution for protecting rack-optimized servers, storage systems and Internetworking equipment against damaging and costly power disruptions. At only 1.75" (1 U) high, MGE's innovative slim design breaks the size barrier and doubles the power density creating the smallest 800
and 1100 VA UPS. The 1U ultra-thin format, which is fast becoming the preferred size for rackmounted devices, was in the past only available up to 500VA. The new Pulsar Evolution is the smallest, most powerful UPS in its power class on the market today.
Available in three power ratings of 500, 800 and 1100VA, the new ultra-dense rackmount and desktop units offer users unsurpassed power protection for a wide variety of applications. In spite of its compact size, the Evolution packs enough battery power to keep a hub, switch and router up for 45 minutes or a Windows 2000/NT server running for up to 25 minutes (depending on server configuration) - plenty of time to ride through most power disturbances or to allow for an orderly shutdown during a prolonged power blackout. As with MGE's other Pulsar units, microprocessor controlled charging extends battery life up to 50 percent, while smart battery management assures advanced warning when the hot-swappable batteries eventually need replacement. In addition, the Evolution incorporates high-frequency line-interactive technology that delivers a sinewave output (a must for servers),voltage correction as well as wide input voltage tolerances (especially important in fluctuating power environments).
Local or remote network power administration is handled easily through the unit's USB and serial ports with MGE's robust Solution-Pac power management software for Windows 95/98/2000, NT, Novell NetWare®, SCO Unix v.3.0, SCO Openserver 5.0, and Linux. Solution-Pac provides advanced power management for one or more servers as well as SNMP or Web-based remote monitoring. With an intuitive graphical interface, the software assures automatic orderly shutdown of unattended servers during extended outages, automatic reboot, remote monitoring as well as alarm
condition notification via email, fax and pager. The robust software suite also includes free updates downloadable from MGE's web site at www.mqeups.com. To further enhance system reliability and uptime, UPS-driver software is also supplied with each unit that lets users adjust main operating parameters to ensure compatibility with all situations, in particular with respect to input voltage tolerances and UPS sensitivity.
These unique units incorporate a breakthrough design that eliminates the need for a bulky transformer used in competitive systems. Not only does this result in units that are half the size of previous generation UPS models, the reduced parts count also results in increased reliability.
A variety of additional advanced features ensure maximum protection for all connected equipment. Two programmable outlets can be used to quickly reset network devices remotely and allocate longer backup times to the most critical equipment. Data line surge protection via an RJ-45 pass-through connector shields a modem or network interface card from surges and spikes transmitted by phone or network cabling. A cold start capability allows users to turn on the UPS and connected equipment even after the power has failed. In addition, the Evolution features a cable locking system to prevent hazardous disconnection of power cables.
