PowerShield
PowerShield³ is Riello’s free UPS management software. It surfaces operational data — input voltage, applied load, battery charge — plus fault conditions and operating states, and is designed around a client/server architecture so a single UPS can shut down many networked hosts gracefully on extended outages.
The software is the canonical pairing for Riello’s smaller UPS units (iPlug, Vision, Sentinel Pro) where the typical scenario is “hold long enough to shut down the connected machines cleanly.” The Standby Systems source description is brief and the page does not list supported operating systems or download URL — those would come from the manufacturer page.
