EATON AMA

We just had a 2.5 hour outage yesterday and I hadn't replaced my desktop UPS yet. I'm ordering this right now (Amazon has it for $200 for the 1500 model.. awesome price!)
CDW (who we buy from) is even cheaper, and according to this AMA they'll give you credit for trade-in!
If I decide from the next 2 hours of answers from Eaton that the 5S is going to be OK for my new server, I'll be placing an order as well today!

Though shipping isn't free.

If I have a physical machine running 4 VMs, how does shutdown of those individual VMs work?
-
@BRRABill What VM platform?

How would it normally work? Signal over the network. You can treat them as physical if you want.
Or you can make the platform handle it and deal with it however the hypervisor is told to deal with it.

Yeah, they are more with shipping, but that doesn't include the trade-in program.

Are you using SCVMM?
No
Well nuts. I HATE giving this answer, but it depends on what you want to accomplish. Page 3 of our HyperV manual covers the details of what is possible and how. Without SCVMM a lot of the advanced functionality is not possible.

That's a good enough explanation for me.
Thanks.

BTW:
One other suggestion might be in addition to MSRPs on other things, to get some more concrete info on the trade-in program.
A link to your website, that says to contact your reseller, that in turn says they have to contact you is a bit kludgy.
If there were more specific details on your site, it might sway people who are on the edge.

The problem with the 5S1500 for a sever is simply how long the server takes to shutdown versus how long the power will stay running.
under my current load (pretty close to full test yesterday) my two APC 3000XL units (server each have one power cord to each) and one APC 3000 (switches and phone system) all last about 40 mins.

He also has to assume that the USB connection is good enough to send the needed signal to shut down the VMs.

Well I am comparing it to the 5P1500 so the run time should be the same, I'd think.
I'm really looking for the differences in features between the S and P lines.

How long is it taking that stuff to shut down?

You mean besides huge prices? I'm guessing the P model has all of the advanced networking tech that the S home model does not.

The Eaton 5PX would be the comparable model, specifically the 5PX3000RT. I'd stick to a 5PX1500RT if you need the runtime. The 5PX allows you to use external batteries and extend the runtime form the base unit.

That was my original question. For 1 server, that has USB, would the S line be OK?
I'm not sure what "advanced networking" features are. In my original thread the only thing that was really mentioned was the 2 distinct output groups.

For the record, super pleased with ours!
