PRODUCT REVIEW: Smart UPS. Smart Power Protection
APC® Smart-UPS® units are the gold standard of network and server UPSs, with more than 12 million in use worldwide. But exactly which model best suits your needs?
Smart-UPS SC
Affordable power protection for entry-level servers
If you are looking to protect relatively uncomplicated configurations and don't need the UPS to have its own IP address on the network, the Smart-UPS SC family boasts the most reliable battery backup and power protection system at the best price. Designed for entry-level servers and IT equipment, Smart-UPS SC units feature the same core attributes as the award-winning Smart-UPS models. They are ideal for small retail operations (especially those that transact business over the Internet), point-of-sale locations, small- and medium-sized businesses, and branch offices.
Smart-UPS
The industry standard for network and server-class UPSs
To protect higher-performance servers, networking equipment, critical storage devices, telcom controllers and switches, and LAN/WAN gateways, standard Smart-UPS models are your best choice. High real power output (Watts), generous runtime, pure sine wave output, 16-segment LED visual display, and intelligent battery management make Smart-UPS units the leading server-class UPS. Sophisticated manageability via the SmartSlot®, an internal accessory slot that allows you to install optional accessories, is one of the biggest differences from the Smart-UPS SC models. Available in 750-5000VA for both tower and rack-mount (1U-5U) models.
Smart-UPS XL
When you need hours of backup runtime, not minutes
Looking for a UPS that will keep your applications running at longer availability? Don't (or can't) have an on-site backup generator? Need voice network availability of two, four, even eights hours? Engineered with the same standards as the legendary Smart-UPS models, Smart-UPS XL units are designed for applications that need more than just a momentary ride through a power disturbance to shut down. The ability to add up to 10 extra battery packs for extended runtimes makes the Smart-UPS XL the most economical way to ensure uninterrupted uptime for critical business systems. You get generator-like backup power capabilities without the hassle or cost of actually having to operate and maintain a generator. Available in 750-3000VA for both tower and rack-mount (2U-5U) models.
Smart-UPS RT
Protection for the harshest power environments
A harsh power environment can be external or internal-a factory floor or light industrial space on the one hand, or any environment with chronically bad power supply on the other. In either case, to ensure power protection, you need the performance features that the Smart-UPS RT provides: extremely tight voltage and frequency regulation, internal bypass, and input power factor correction. Available in a flexible rack/tower convertible form that at high power levels is smaller and offers higher density (up to 10kVA in only 6U).
