Overview
The APC by Schneider Electric SWPCNS6Y-DIGI is a 6-year software license for PowerChute Network Shutdown, specifically designed to manage uninterruptible power system (UPS) events in virtualized data center environments and hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI). This license ensures graceful shutdowns of virtual machines and hosts during extended power outages, preventing data corruption and system downtime. It directly addresses the complexity of managing power for dynamic virtual workloads, providing a critical layer of operational continuity for sensitive IT infrastructure.
Compatibility
This license is compatible with APC Smart-UPS and select Symmetra Online UPS models when used with PowerChute Network Shutdown software. It is designed to integrate with VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Nutanix Acropolis environments. The SWPCNS6Y-DIGI license supports management of multiple virtual machines and hosts within these platforms, scaling to the needs of modern virtualized data centers.
Installation Notes
Installation requires the PowerChute Network Shutdown software to be deployed on a management server or a dedicated appliance within the network. The license key provided with this product is entered into the PowerChute software to activate the 6-year term for virtual machine and host shutdown orchestration. Network connectivity between the UPS management card, the PowerChute software, and the virtual environment hosts is essential for proper operation.
