WHY MAYAUPS
Vendor tools are built around their own hardware. MayaUPS monitors mixed fleets, orchestrates shutdown across VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix and storage, and keeps battery and service records for every unit.
IN DAILY USE
The team sees at once which UPS is on battery, how much runtime remains and which servers it protects, whatever the brand.
If the outage lasts, MayaUPS shuts down virtual machines, hosts and storage in the planned order, then restarts them when utility power returns.
Follow an outageInstallation dates, temperature and self-test history feed a replacement timeline that spans several years.
Finance gets a plan by site and by year, with the expected costs.
See replacement planningVisits, notes, parts and battery serial numbers stay with each UPS.
