PowerDsine Announces New Version of Power Management Software for PoE Midspans
PowerDsine Ltd. announced the launch of its advanced Power Management software for PoE Midspans in the 6000G, 6500 and 8000 PoE Midspan series. The new PowerView Pro V3 is innovative power management software, which greatly enhances the existing power management capabilities in the market and offers a higher level of security to the network when installing PoE Midspans.

The ability to manage power distribution efficiently enables cost savings in the size of UPS required, while extending the life of the UPS support during power outages.
PowerView Pro V3 offers other benefits and main functionalities for the enterprise network, including: remote monitoring of power consumption and control power on-off; automatic activation of PoE devices according to set schedules and priorities; high security – prevents intrusion into the data and power networks, using SNMP V3 and SSL; an enhanced authentication process by engaging with the network radius server and improved encryption through SSH.; the ability to remotely perform a power-on reset of wireless LAN access points and network security cameras which are installed in out-of-reach places; and an automatic process which powers down IP telephones after work hours, as well as on weekends and holidays, driving further cost savings.
"Reliability of power in the network is a main concern among IT Managers," said Igal Rotem, PowerDsine's CEO. "PowerView Pro demonstrates PowerDsine's leading edge in PoE Midspan development and further positions our products as the most technologically-advanced in today's market. By directly linking to the centralized UPS, PoE Midspans with PowerView Pro improve IT Managers' ability and efficiency in controlling power over the network, and better enables them to effectively cope with power outage situations."
