Functionality
A Paladin Live Enterprise Server can manage up to 250,000 data channels per second at 1-millisecond resolution - wow! With "built-in" knowledge of the electrical infrastructure (via the embedded design model), things are much easier on the facilities professional. There's no need for a time-consuming, on-site, custom configuration process or for setting alarm parameters - its set-up is practical, efficient, and well designed.
Customization
One of Paladin Live's neater options is its custom reporting feature, providing users with the ability to create personalized reports suitable for the needs and technical knowledge of whoever receives it (for example, engineering and facilities staff members will want more technical information about what's working and what's not vs. the reports that finance and operations professionals will want to see regarding energy savings).
Reliability
Although we weren't able to test this feature ourselves, Paladin Live comes to the rescue in case of power problems. Users can recover and examine system-wide historical data from all sources (it works like the flight recorder on an aircraft). Knowing that the system is dependable no matter what the external conditions are ranks high in our book.
Security
Making use of full 128-bit encryption technology and security that goes one step beyond commercial HTTPS and HTTP options, secure access is assured via a non-Microsoft® ISS (Internet Security Software) server. That extra protection allows you to rest assured that data is always protected - all the time.
Paladin® Live electrical power system management platform
(based on a five-point scale)
Paladin Live - offered through a joint marketing and sales agreement between Cleveland-based Eaton Corp. and San Diego-based EDSA Micro Corp. - is the only electrical power system management platform able to sustain a constant, 360-degree view of your electrical-power infrastructure. It smartly predicts when and where vulnerabilities could occur, and sends appropriate notification to the right people at the right time. Paladin Live treats energy as a business-critical service, giving facility operators a way to administer its cost, quality, capacity, and reliability. It assists users with capacity planning, energy efficiency, load curtailment, and power quality to guard failsafe business activities. Once set up, Paladin Live protects business continuity by constantly checking the power system for possible glitches to ensure resiliency. The system can then be instructed to prevent potential failures on its own or make intelligent suggestions to operators.
