The Intelligent Power Pod system is developed especially for the modern IT architecture including convergent and hyper convergent infrastructures. This integrated system integrates the equipment for reservation of a power supply, electric power distribution, management of loadings and also electrotechnical covers and services of support. Intelligent Power Pod guarantees continuous accomplishment of applications, providing to IT specialists reliable physical infrastructure. A system provides a full integration with hypervisors and automatic migration of virtual machines in a cloud or on a standby server at power supply violation. Intelligent convergent solutions, the including Intelligent Power Pod, provide reliable protection and management, guaranteeing smooth functioning of business 24 hours a day, 365 days in a year.

The Intelligent Power Pod system from Eaton is the ready to use solution on providing qualitative power supply in the virtualized environment which can be configured according to needs of the user and also gives verifiability and almost instant configuration change and the status.
