Introduction
Dell ™ Multi-UPS Management Console ® (MUMC) is ideal for monitoring and managing multiple power
and environmental devices. The Dell MUMC delivers a global view across the network from any PC with
an Internet browser. Exceptionally versatile, the software is compatible with any device that supports a
network interface, including other manufacturer’s UPSs, environmental sensors, Power Distribution
Units (PDUs), applications, and more. The Dell MUMC can also organize a management table by
groups, centralize alarms, and maintain events logs for preventive maintenance of the entire installed
equipment base.
The Dell MUMC provides the following:
• Discovers and supervises Dell UPSs and Dell PDUs connected to the network either by means of a card
or a proxy. For the detailed list of compatible solutions, see “Compatibility” on page 10.
• Supervises the remote servers hosting the Dell MUMC application.
• Provides advanced management feature (mass configuration and mass upload) with the Dell™
Network Management Card (H910P, also known as an NMC).
• Provides local computer graceful shutdown through the Dell Network Management Card.
• Provides an agentless method for directly managing and controlling VMware
® hypervisors through the
VMware ® vCenter™ management platform
• Provides centralized management of Dell ™ UPS Local Node Manager ® (ULNM) applications running
on virtualized servers other than VMware vCenter (such as Microsoft ® Hyper-V™ hypervisor or Citrix ®
Xen ® ).
