PowerSoft Software

The basic task of PowerSoft Professional is monitoring the operation of EVER UPS devices and protection of the operating system against uncontrolled power loss of the local computer and computers in the network.

PowerSoft guarantees:

1. VERSATILITY – one program for all EVER UPS solutions 

2. COMPATIBILITY – supports all operating systems 

3. AVAILABILITY – the software is available free of charge for all EVER UPS users

4. UPDATES – automatic update to new version once the control panel is startedtechnical support

5. SUPPORT – EVER software users have access to 

   ​

Additional benefits:

• support for VMware ESXi 5.x., VMware ESXi 6.x. virtualization platform,
• support for Windows 8, Windows 10, Server 2012, Hyper-V,
• parallel monitoring of several UPS units,
• authorization for higher level users (once logged in, the administrator can configure the software and the UPS),
• authorization when PowerSoft is in network operation (Netclient’s administrator password must be given if Netclient is to be added to PowerSoft),
• encryption of data transferred between PowerSoft and Netclient, and encryption of data between PowerSoft and its control panel,
• remote configuration of PowerSoft through a control panel.

PowerSoft – effective management of networked UPS units!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

PowerSoft Professional consists of two applications:

• THE MAIN APPLICATION, for recording power events and configuring reactions to such events. The main application is to be installed on a PC that is physically connected to the UPS through an RS232 port, a USB or an SNMP card. The application includes:
   
  • A system service, that communicates with UPS via a respective UPS connector, reads information on the current status of the computer and changes settings depending on the user preferences. The system service always starts automatically with the operating system and monitors UPS notwithstanding the user is logged on and the control panel is launched.
     
  • A control panel (or a user’s graphical interface), which allows displaying information about the UPS, changing its settings and configuring the system in the case of power loss. The control panel needs not be turned off for the system service monitoring to be active (the application can be minimized to system tray).

• A NETWORK CLIENT, an application that is installed on all PCs controlled by the main application.
