Eaton now has the capability to help organizations with VxRail systems preserve their data integrity during unplanned power outages.

Hi, my name is Elizabeth Bagnas, alliances manager with Eaton, here to talk to you about Eaton’s power solutions that enables automatic and sequential power shutdown of the VxRail clusters to preserve data integrity.

VxRail is a hyperconverged infrastructure, or HCI, that combines compute, storage and virtualization resources into a single device. While the benefits of HCI are certainly impressive, power disruptions can still pose serious threats that can lead to business interruptions or data loss.

Eaton’s engineered solution is a result of a close collaboration with Dell to develop and validate power solutions that automatically, sequentially and gracefully shuts down VxRail clusters during unplanned and extended power events. This solution includes Eaton UPSs, Gigabit Network Card and Intelligent Power Manager software.

This powerful trio utilizes VMware and VxRail Manager APIs to gracefully shut down VxRail clusters. What’s cool, is IPM is installed within the VxRail cluster thereby eliminating any need for an external server or VM to host that power management software for shutdown.

There are three additional benefits for including Eaton solutions with VxRail systems. First, protect data from cybersecurity threats with a UPS communication card that’s both UL and IEC certified for cybersecurity. Second, reduce the need for onsite IT staff with remote management. And third, safeguard the VxRail system from any power or environmental threats.
