UPS stays up longer

The Pulsar EX RT range of uninterruptible power supplies offer power protection optimised for maximum reliability and longer backup times.

The Pulsar EX RT range of uninterruptible power supplies offer power protection optimised for maximum reliability and longer backup times in high-density IT applications and server protection along with simple integration by resellers.

Available in 2200 and 3200VA power ranges, Pulsar EX RT models feature a versatile form factor suitable for use in tower or compact 2U rack configurations.

Recent prolonged blackouts resulting from natural and man-made causes have heightened the demand for more comprehensive backup options.

The AFCOM Data Centre Institute's recent survey of sites affected by the Northeast blackouts in late 2003 found that at least 47% of data centres suffered from lost operation or lost data as a result.

By incorporating true online double-conversion UPS topology with built-in automatic bypass, MGE's Pulsar EX RT units are designed for robust operation including the ability to add extended battery packs for multi-hour backup times.

Online operation also assures the highest level of power conditioning and optimised battery life as well as compatibility with engine generators for even longer backup requirements.

The modular systems are easy to configure and include a number of standard features available only as options on other systems.

According to MGE Marketing Manager, Long Tran: "In addition to the robust operation assured by the double-conversion technology, one of the most appealing characteristics of the Pulsar EX RT is the fact that so many useful features are included as standard.

Not only is it easier for the end user to operate, its simplified model selection will make the Pulsar EX RT easier for VARs and solution providers to order, stock, configure and integrate into the enterprise solution stack".

All Pulsar EX RT models include USB and serial ports for communication and power management with included software for current Windows operating systems as well as several versions of Unix, Macintosh, Novell and legacy Windows OS.

In addition, the new Pulsar models include rack-mounting hardware kits that are typically added-cost options from other manufacturers.

Standard units also feature MGE's Powershare technology that enables users to remotely reboot systems and gracefully turn off less critical equipment for "load shedding" in order to maximise backup time for the most important devices connected to the UPS.

Available options include additional battery packs for extended runtime, a manual Source Transfer Switch (STS) and communications options for SNMP, enhanced web monitoring and NMS integration for HP OpenView, IBM Tivoli, NetView, CA Unicenter and others.

Available now, the new models meet worldwide standards for safety and performance including UL, TUV and CE.

List prices start at $1545 for the 2200VA model.
