Abstract
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.
