A system and method of provided for automatically update a system's software. In one example, the software is updated without requiring user intervention. Further, a system is provided that is capable of performing a software update on a non-PC system, such as a networking device, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), or other system. In another example, a system and method is provided for updating multiple components of a system by a proxy system responsible for downloading and applying updates.

System and method for updating a software program

A system and method for providing critical state monitoring for a power supply, such as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), is provided. In one embodiment, the invention includes a notification system for at least one power supply coupled to a computer network and adapted to transmit information such as a trap over the computer network when one of the power supplies undergoes the entry of a critical state, wherein the notification system includes a computer system connected to the computer network and has running on it a monitoring program, a reporting program and a database. The monitoring program monitors the network and detects the information being associated with the entry of the critical state. The database stores the information relating to the information transmitted over the network being associated with the entry of the critical state. The reporting program reports over the computer network the information relating to the duration of the critical state. In another embodiment, the invention includes a method of providing over a computer network a notification of a power supply in a critical state.

Power supply critical state monitoring system

An Internet-based system and method is set forth for managing a number of uninterruptible power supply systems. The system includes an uninterruptible power supply manager computer coupled to a number of user computers via a computer network. The manager computer is further coupled to the number of uninterruptible power supply systems via the computer network. The manager computer can communicate with the number of uninterruptible power supply systems to obtain inventory and/or status information related to each of the uninterruptible power supply systems. The inventory and/or status information is contained in a database defined on the manager computer. An inventory engine, which is included in the computer manager, can configure and arrange the inventory and/or status information into a number of reports.

System and method for managing uninterruptible power supply systems

An event notification system for a plurality of power supplies coupled to a computer network is provided. In one embodiment of the invention, the notification system includes a computer system connected to the computer network, wherein the computer system includes a database, a data retrieval program, a comparison program and an electronic notification program. The data retrieval program obtains data from the plurality of power supplies. The comparison program compares the data from the plurality of power supplies with data of at least one predetermined event to determine if a predetermined event has occurred. The database stores information relating to an occurrence of the predetermined event and the number of the power supplies associated with the occurrence of the predetermined event. The electronic notification program sends an electronic notification, which includes information about the occurrence of the predetermined event and the number of the power supplies to which the event occurred, to one or more predetermined destinations. In another embodiment of the invention, a method of providing notification of a predetermined event of a power supply is provided.
