MGE Presents New Pulsar Evolution UPS Family

MGE UPS Systems (Costa Mesa, CA) announced its new Pulsar Evolution UPS family. The Evolution is suitable for protecting rack-optimized servers, storage systems and Internet-working equipment against damaging and costly power disruptions.

The Evolution measures 1.75in high and is available in three power ratings of 500VA, 800VA and 1,100VA. The new ultra-dense rack-mount and desktop units offer users power protection for a wide variety of applications. The Evolution stores enough battery power to keep a hub, switch and router up for 45 minutes, or a Windows 2000/NT server running for up to 25 minutes (depending on server configuration). Microprocessor-controlled charging extends battery life up to 50 percent, while smart battery management ensures advanced warning when the hot-swappable batteries need replacement. In addition, the Evolution incorporates high-frequency line-interactive technology that delivers a sine-wave output, voltage correction and wide input-voltage tolerances.

Two programmable outlets can be used to quickly reset network devices remotely and allocate longer backup times to the most critical equipment. Data line-surge protection via an RJ-45 pass-through connector shields a modem or network interface card from surges and spikes transmitted by phone or network cabling. A cold-start capability allows users to turn on the UPS and connected equipment even after the power has failed. In addition, the Evolution features a cable-locking system to prevent hazardous disconnection of power cables.

The Pulsar Evolution product line is available now starting at $349. The new systems feature a comprehensive two-year warranty that includes battery replacement and comes with MGE’s exclusive $35,000 equipment protection warranty.
