July 9, 2015 – Today’s students were born into the tech generation. For them, connectivity and media is as natural as breathing. As a result, school districts are transforming classrooms with tablets and Chromebooks in an effort to keep these learners engaged while also preparing them with the life skills needed to succeed in tomorrow’s business world.

Students aren’t the only ones reaping the benefits of virtualization and the BYOD movement. More and more school districts are migrating to virtualized data centers for a host of reasons. Their systems are scalable, cost effective and “green.” They also offer a unified student user experience and can provide a graceful shutdown during an extended power outage.

Can you say the same about your current environment?
Does it offer the visibility you need into your virtualized network?

With power and power management solutions from Nationwide Power and Eaton, your data center can make the grade semester after semester. Not only are our UPSs E-Rate Category II eligible, but also our solutions are designed to help you safeguard data integrity, ensure system uptime and, most importantly, seamlessly integrate into your existing VMware software via our Intelligent Power Software Suite (IPS).

This integration was the main reason one of our customers, Washington Unified School District (WUSD), chose to install our power management solutions. They wanted the visibility that comes with IPS. Their IT manager explains that, “Everyone says their software integrates into VMware, but when challenged and asked to demonstrate in house, they couldn’t do it. Eaton and Nationwide Power were the only ones that could deliver that.”

With our solutions in place, WUSD now has the ability to:

• Keep a constant pulse on its virtual environment while managing safe, orderly shutdowns
• Achieve 100% uptime and availability
• Easily upgrade its UPS system as equipment or runtime needs increase
• Maintain vital switching equipment at individual school sites
• Gain superior power distribution capabilities with ePDUs

Let’s work together to make the same A+ improvements to your school’s virtualized environment. To learn more about WUSD’s integration, download this whitepaper and talk to an expert at Nationwide Power at 800-868-2780.
