How does IPM version 2 work with third party UPSs?

Any network-connected UPS, compatible with NUT (Network UPS Tools) acquisition engine, will communicate with IPM 2. IPM 2 treats them the same as a premium Eaton UPS, and the user gets whatever functions are available in the IPM edition they are using:

• IPM Monitor can monitor UPSs that are NUT compatible.
• IPM Manage use the NUT compatible UPSs as a power source to trigger host power actions.
• IPM Optimize will use NUT compatible UPSs as a power source to trigger VM power actions and cluster actions.
