It is a rack-mountable battery backup that gives clean, uninterrupted power to servers, storage, networking gear and critical computers. If you need to keep data safe and keep your business running when the grid fails, this UPS is the answer.
APC Smart-UPS On-Line 3kVA 2U Rackmount 230V UPS with Extended Runtime
Power spikes, brownouts and total blackouts can corrupt files and bring operations to a halt. That problem matters because every minute of downtime can mean lost revenue and damaged reputation. The APC unit UPS uses double-conversion technology so it never switches to battery; power stays pure and steady. It also lets you add external battery packs, giving you hours of extra runtime when you need it most.
Usages of APC
