Deltec to introduce two UPS families and LAN management software for Windows, DOS, Novell, OS/2 and UNIX at Fall COMDEX.

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 9, 1994--Deltec Electronics Corp. will unveil several new products at COMDEX that will give network users complete power protection, management and control capabilities across networks, enterprisewide LANs and WANs. In Booth No. L5252, Deltec will demonstrate the unique capabilities of its new:

-- LanSafe III and FailSafe III power management software;

-- The PowerRite EB Series of Uninterruptible Power Systems

(UPSs) that offer virtually unlimited backup time; and

-- PowerWorks RS Series online rack-mount and tower-configured

UPSs.

Deltec's award-winning PowerRite Pro for LANs, as well as its recently introduced $139 PowerRite Plus for standalone PCs and Macintosh systems, will also be on display.

Deltec's new LanSafe III software for MS-DOS, Windows, Novell NMS and NetWare, OS/2 and UNIX operating systems work in concert with Deltec's UPSs to give network administrators full control of UPS status and activity across the entire network.

Unique to LanSafe III is its ability to conduct a user-defined sequential and orderly shutdown of all network devices. This feature assures that all work in process is saved prior to shutdown. Other power management software automatically shuts down the server and does not allow for networked transactions to be completed.

Also unique is Deltec's exclusive PowerScope display featured with both FailSafe III and LanSafe III. The PowerScope screen shows real-time power and UPS status data in an easy-to-understand graphical display.

For standalone PCs, FailSafe III will save work in progress, perform an unattended orderly shutdown and tell users all the information needed to effectively monitor AC power conditions.

LanSafe III for Novell/Windows/DOS and LanSafe III for OS/2 with LAN Server and LAN Manager lists for $99. LanSafe for Novell NMS lists for $149. LanSafe III for UNIX systems is $149 on CD and 3.5-inch diskettes. LanSafe III for UNIX is also available on 4mm DAT and QIC tapes at $199. FailSafe III for OS/2 lists for $89 while the Windows and DOS version lists for $69.

A COMDEX show special will offer introductory discounts.

For applications needing extended battery backup time during a power blackout, Deltec's new EB PowerRite 1500VA and 2000VA UPSs provides virtually unlimited backup protection. Through the UPSs' external battery system, each battery pack is equipped with its own exclusive internal PowerCharger for fast recharge (90 percent recharge in four hours at full load).

Battery banks can be daisy-chained for unlimited power backup. For example, if four battery banks are used for a 540-watt power load, the PowerRite EB UPS would keep the system up and running for approximately four hours and 40 minutes.

For network applications, the PowerRite EB models include an RS-232 communication port that interfaces with Deltec's LanSafe and FailSafe power monitoring software.

Applications needing true online UPS protection at higher levels, Deltec's new PowerWorks RS Series offers the most compact protection in its power class.

Designed in rack-mount and tower configurations, these new UPSs offer Advanced Battery Management (ABM) capabilities that extend the life of the UPSs' internal batteries, give advanced notice of battery service requirements and conduct a fast recharge so the UPS is ready for the next power blackout.

The 2kVA through 6kVA PowerWorks RS UPSs sport user-friendly indicators such as operational status, line conditions, battery capacity, load level and service requirements. The new UPSs also interface with LanSafe III software, as well as offer SNMP capabilities.

The introduction of LanSafe/FailSafe III software, PowerRite EB Series and the PowerWorks RS Series online UPSs are a result of Deltec's ongoing commitment to provide users with power protection devices they need for today's critical applications.
