MGE Releases the First Power Protection and Management Software for Vista

COSTA MESA, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 18, 2007 -- MGE UPS SYSTEMS (www.mgeups.com/us), a world
class technology leader in providing unsurpassed power protection solutions
to PC users, computer data centers, telecommunications, medical and
industrial operations, today announced that the beta version of its
Personal Solution-Pac™ power management software for Microsoft Vista can
now be downloaded from MGE's Web site. Personal Solution-Pac is designed
for So/Ho and small business users needing an easy-to-use, yet fully
featured solution to complement the power protection provided by their MGE
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
MGE's Personal Solution-Pac gives users information on important parameters
such as power consumption and remaining battery life of their UPS. Because
knowing the status of the UPS battery is critical for computer system
uptime, Personal Solution-Pac includes an intuitive screen that displays
remaining battery backup time available. This real-time indicator works in
conjunction with a power consumption sensor that detects how much of the
UPS's rated power is being used by connected equipment. As a result, users
can avoid one of the most common problems with UPS installations because
the system lets the user know whether additional devices can be safely
plugged into the UPS without overloading the system.
"As PC users migrate to Vista, users will appreciate that they can depend
on MGE to deliver the highest level of power protection and power
monitoring to safeguard their digital and audio files," said Hervé Tardy,
vice president of marketing for MGE UPS Systems. "Our software development
teams have worked closely with Microsoft to develop optimum power
protection solutions. We're proud to have collaborated with Microsoft over
the years to co-develop optimum solutions for Microsoft's customers and are
ready to provide users of the new Vista operating system comprehensive
power protection and management."
Through an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), the software gives
users a real-time view of their on-site power quality and the ability to
set-up automatic actions in case of a power emergency. For example, users
can define specific conditions under which the software can conduct an
automatic shutdown of a PC at the end of battery runtime or send an alert
to notify users of power problems.
For ease in communicating with connected devices, Personal Solution-Pac
automatically detects USB or serial connections. The software instantly
avoids communication conflicts by automatically detecting available
communication ports. The beta version of MGE's Power Solution-Pac for Vista
is available for download at:
