vSphere Management Appliance (vMA) and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

Hello everybody,

I have a problem regarding the choice of an UPS managing our ESXi servers.

All of them that I have seen, use the vMA to send network shutdown commands to the ESXi server and gracefully shutdown all virtual machines and then the ESXi itself.

For security reasons I cannot use the VMware vMA installed on the ESXi, and as well I cannot use SSH to send shutdown commands via scripts to the ESXi, also with a direct USB connection instead of a network connection.

It is a big problem, but has somebody experienced that problem and found a good UPS that doesn't use vMA or a working solution ?

Thanks in advance
