IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager (AEM) provides an array of new features that allow power and thermal trending analysis for improved power management. By plugging systems into an IBM UPS, AEM is able to collect power information for each device, presenting a more complete view of energy usage within the data center. With access to accurate detailed information on power usage right at their fingertips, IT and facility managers are now able to manage data centers for optimal energy efficiency, migrating workloads to alleviate hot spots or transferring work from underutilized systems to conserve energy The new IBM 5594 and 5595 UPS models also feature ABM(R) technology which incorporates sophisticated sensing circuitry and an innovative three-stage charging technique to significantly extend battery service life and optimize recharge time. ABM also provides up to a 60-day notification when a hot-swappable battery is approaching the end of its useful life Hot-swappable batteries enable maximum uptime, availability, and ease of maintenance. All 5594 and 5595 units come equipped with intelligent load segments.

These individual receptacle groups can be programmed and controlled allowing mission-critical devices to be prioritized during shutdown to preserve battery runtime. For applications requiring extended backup times, an external battery module can also be added to all the new UPS rack and tower models to deliver hours of runtime to critical systems during a prolonged power outage.
