Eaton’s IPM 1.60 offers full integration with Nutanix

Power management company Eaton has announced the global launch of its Intelligent Power Manager (IPM) software version 1.60, which now offers full integration with the Nutanix Acropolis hyperconverged infrastructure platform.
Through the integration, users of Nutanix Acropolis, including information technology (IT) professionals and data centre managers, can now leverage Eaton’s IPM software to provide graceful shutdown of the Nutanix infrastructure, enhancing business continuity and protecting mission critical data during power-related events, the company said.
Nutanix Acropolis combines software-defined storage with built-in virtualization in a turnkey hyperconverged infrastructure offering. Through integration with Eaton’s Intelligent Power Manager software, Acropolis users can now provide remote shutdown capabilities for the Nutanix Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV) during unforeseen power events to avoid a loss of data or its integrity.
In addition to integration with Nutanix Acropolis, the latest version of Eaton’s Intelligent Power Manager software features integration with VMware vSAN hyper-converged infrastructure software as well as the Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization platform.
These integrations enable operators in vSAN environments to efficiently and effectively manage their power infrastructure as part of their vSAN deployments or Hyper-V hypervisors.

CommScope launches augmented reality offering

CommScope recently demonstrated augmented reality (AR) capabilities with its imVision automated infrastructure management offering, which will allow IT personnel to physically “see” what’s going on in their local area networks.
The software-based imVision currently enables IT managers to monitor and control a network infrastructure.
Located in a data centre or IT closet, it can remotely show where ports are located and how they are connected back to the main location.
“What started as an application for gamers and entertainment has now entered the business world and organizations are beginning to see the value that AR can bring to various industries,” said Ernie Pickens, senior vice president of enterprise solutions at CommScope. “Coupling AR with intelligent infrastructure to ‘see’ cables and connections behind walls and in ceilings is just the first of many uses where we believe customers will find value.”
As part of the assessment, CommScope collaborated with Joinpad to develop several functional AR prototypes based on use cases that are typically performed during cabling administration tasks.
The tasks covered implementation of moves/adds/changes, troubleshooting cabling connectivity, and maintenance work on cabling infrastructure in the ceiling.
