A task that is as complex as providing uninterruptible power to major infrastructure such as data centers cannot be handled manually. That is why many companies use UPS control software as a vital part of their power supply services. Here is how this software works and why it is important to deliver uninterrupted power.
Continuous Monitoring of Power Supply
One of the most important functions of UPS control software is monitoring the performance of the uninterrupted power supply. The software can detect if there are interruptions to the power supply, power outages, or overexertion of the power supply faster than any sort of manual check. This allows you to react to a potential power outage before it can damage your operations.
Faster Response to Service and Server Outages
Besides just monitoring the power supply for potential interruptions, UPS software can also respond to common problems before a manual response team can be formed or come out into the field. For example, if there is a regional power outage, the software can turn on emergency servers or generators or redirect power from elsewhere to make sure that valuable infrastructure doesn’t go offline.
Send Alerts for Necessary Maintenance
UPS-related software can ensure that manual response teams are better informed and have better response times. The software works in tandem with more traditional maintenance by monitoring the system and creating alerts whenever maintenance work, such as changing or charging batteries, is required. This allows necessary work to be done before it can disrupt service.
