UPS recommendations

[Gaz]

We are in need of a UPS around 2000VA but which make? We've currently got an APC smart UPS, but I'm after a rack mount version however the APC version rackmount is way out of budget.

 

CyberPower PR2200ELCDRTXL2U Professional LCD Series Rackmount Uninterruptible Power Supply (1650W/2200VA)

 

Tripp Lite SMX2200XLRT2U SmartPro Series Uninterruptible Power Supply (1920W/2200VA)

 

Both seem ok but the Cyberpower doesn't have any UK presence for support.

 

Connected will be a Server (460W PSU, NAS 52W and a switch 487W maximum. Those figures assume the devices are fully loaded.

 

Ideally I'd like to get it from Broadbandbuyer as I'm ordering other stuff too, so its easier to just buy it from them.

What's your budget? The APC unit is only a hundred quid more than those you've listed - APC Smart-UPS X 2200 Rack/Tower LCD... | SMX2200HV | £774.99 | Insight UK

 

Don't focus on one supplier when spending that much money - you'll just end up wasting it.

Depending on your servers, check the power wave type, I know a school that had a big APC unit that wasn't giving the right type of power so the servers were shutting down.

Its actually £300 (VAT Price) more. I didn't really want to spend more than £650 but I do appreciate its not something that should be skimped on.

I'd always go with APC. Used Dell which is rebranded Eaton?

Had issues with my SAN not supporting it.

 

Check the equipment you need to use with it and make sure it's fully supported.

Yeah I've decided to go for APC tower style, for support and parts availability.
