Eaton's Gigabit Network Card (Network-M3) for UPS connections combines comprehensive energy management with professional cybersecurity. The M3 version is based on innovations featuring a zero-trust architecture, making the protection of mission-critical systems in medium and large IT networks even more effective. The Gigabit Network Card is compatible with multiple Eaton software solutions for energy management, enabling extensive automation as well as remote management and control, which shortens response times to energy issues. The Gigabit Network Card provides IT managers with actionable insights to proactively address power problems before they lead to downtime and to maximize the efficiency of their power supply operations. The zero-trust architecture minimizes cybersecurity vulnerabilities through hardware root of trust, enabling secure booting and a complete trust chain. Zero-touch provisioning automatically configures network cards faster, significantly saving time during large-scale deployments. The user-configurable firewall reduces a company's attack surface and helps meet specific network and security requirements. The REST API allows businesses to easily integrate the network card into native systems and automate M2M interactions.
