About PowerChute Network Shutdown

PowerChute Network Shutdown is a UPS management software which works in conjunction with the Schneider Electric UPS Network Management Card to protect your hyperconverged and virtual infrastructure.

In the event of a power outage, PowerChute can gracefully shutdown your Virtual Machines and the pre-configured start-up sequence ensures they power back on.

Benefits

• Resiliency - PowerChute provides data security and resiliency during power disturbances. During those beyond the UPS backup duration, PowerChute triggers a graceful, unattended shutdown of all servers, protecting data integrity and reduces system downtime.
• Productivity - Unattended start-up ensures uptime immediately when power conditions are restored. Once the servers are back up, PowerChute Network Shutdown can detect stable conditions and then re-start the cluster services and virtual machines, enabling uptime productivity.
• Security - Hardened security with latest updates in public key infrastructure (PKI) support across the interfaces, assures peace of mind.
• Configurable actions - During critical events due to power outage or environmental incidents, PowerChute can be configured to automatically migrate critical load or gracefully shutdown the cluster.
