Abstract: A system and method of provided for automatically update a system's software. In one example, the software is updated without requiring user intervention. Further, a system is provided that is capable of performing a software update on a non-PC system, such as a networking device, uninterruptible power supply (UPS), or other system. In another example, a system and method is provided for updating multiple components of a system by a proxy system responsible for downloading and applying updates.

Abstract: A system and method for providing critical state monitoring for a power supply, such as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), is provided. In one embodiment, the invention includes a notification system for at least one power supply coupled to a computer network and adapted to transmit information such as a trap over the computer network when one of the power supplies undergoes the entry of a critical state, wherein the notification system includes a computer system connected to the computer network and has running on it a monitoring program, a reporting program and a database. The monitoring program monitors the network and detects the information being associated with the entry of the critical state. The database stores the information relating to the information transmitted over the network being associated with the entry of the critical state. The reporting program reports over the computer network the information relating to the duration of the critical state.

Abstract: An event notification system for a plurality of power supplies coupled to a computer network is provided. In one embodiment of the invention, the notification system includes a computer system connected to the computer network, wherein the computer system includes a database, a data retrieval program, a comparison program and an electronic notification program. The data retrieval program obtains data from the plurality of power supplies. The comparison program compares the data from the plurality of power supplies with data of at least one predetermined event to determine if a predetermined event has occurred. The database stores information relating to an occurrence of the predetermined event and the number of the power supplies associated with the occurrence of the predetermined event.
