When one brand is not the site reality
APC, Eaton, Vertiv/Liebert, and CyberPower often sit beside one another. MayaUPS treats mixed UPS fleets as the normal case.
WHY MAYAUPS
A free multi-vendor alternative to per-brand UPS tools.
MayaUPS is positioned for mixed fleets: not a single-brand utility, not a heavyweight VM appliance, and not a GUI-free daemon.
| MayaUPS | Single-brand OEM tools | Eaton IPM | NUT / open source | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary fit | Mixed UPS fleets | The manufacturer’s own equipment | Power-infrastructure management | Operator-built UPS integrations |
| Monitoring approach | SNMP v1/v2c/v3, RFC 1628, USB-HID, and serial | Check the current vendor edition | Check the current vendor edition | Drivers and configurable services |
| Shutdown workflow | Observe → Dry-run → Armed | Check the current vendor edition | Check the current vendor edition | Configured by the operator |
| Interface | Bilingual EN-CA / FR-CA web UI | Check the current vendor edition | Check the current vendor edition | Command-line services plus optional interfaces |
| MayaUPS licence status | Current release is free with no feature gating | Not a MayaUPS licence | Not a MayaUPS licence | Separate open-source project |
NUT-class breadth with a usable interface
NUT remains the free multi-vendor reference, but it has no friendly GUI and no vendor support. MayaUPS keeps the multi-vendor wedge while adding a bilingual UI and support.
Lightweight compared with VM appliances
MayaUPS ships as one self-contained app with the web UI and SQLite database embedded, rather than a full virtual appliance stack.
