Update on the MGE partnership
Dear friends and fellows,
As you might know, MGE UPS SYSTEMS was a Debian partner, protecting for
example Alioth.
But there have been major changes in the UPS world recently, after the
acquisition of APC by
MGE's parent company, Schneider Electric.
MGE has been divided in two entities: APC | MGE and MGE Office Protection
Systems.
MGE Office Protection Systems consists of the single-phase UPS and surge
suppression products
of MGE UPS SYSTEMS, and is now owned by Eaton (along with Powerware).
It also consists of all the Free Software supporters that were previously
in MGE UPS SYSTEMS...
So first, the MGE partners entry is not valid anymore.
Now, the new player is MGE Office Protection Systems.
I've so filled a new partner form.
Questions and comments are welcome.
Best regards,
Arnaud Quette
