APC by Schneider Electric SWPCNS1Y-DIGI Network Shutdown License

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric PowerChute Network Shutdown License SWPCNS1Y-DIGI provides a 1-year subscription for gracefully shutting down virtualized servers and Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) during power outages. This license is crucial for environments where maintaining data integrity and preventing hardware damage during unexpected power loss is paramount. It ensures that critical virtual machines and their host systems are powered down in an orderly fashion, triggered by an APC Smart-UPS or other compatible UPS system.

Compatibility

This license is designed to integrate with APC's PowerChute Network Shutdown software, enabling management of virtual environments. It supports virtualization platforms including VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Nutanix AHV. The license is applicable to environments managed by APC Smart-UPS models and compatible UPS systems that support network management cards (e.g., AP96xx series).

Installation Notes

Installation involves activating the license key within the PowerChute Network Shutdown software interface. Ensure the UPS management card is on the network and accessible by the PowerChute server. The software requires a Windows or Linux server for installation and operation. The 1-year term begins upon activation.
