Any suggestions for smallish UPSs for network switches?

[jamesfed]

Currently working on an infrastructure replacement (wired network switches only) and have a fair chunk of cash left over and was thinking about upping the number of UPSs in comms cabs...

 

To that end does anyone have any suggestions for a relatively compact UPS that can be network managed for a fair price?

 

Switches are a mixture of 24/48 PoE/Non PoE HP 2530 series; not likely to be more than 3 off a single UPS, no particular requirement for runtime just anything long enough to handle a brown out.

If it's just for switches I wouldn't really bother

You'd think that Either way though it'd help if we could get them on backup power; expecily the ones that run the Wireless APs given that we are running halls.

I'd also be interested , might subscribe to this

Given that then any really, switches barely use any power, more so in a powercut when most the PCs connected to it are down.

 

Last time we had a powercut, our APC 1500 kept one of our primary school servers running for over half an hour, so with a couple of switches with barely any load, I'd say it would be fair to expect at least an hour.

I wouldn't bother unless it's powering something key, i.e. security kit or a PoE phone in an important area.

Ahh but the switches (and indeed the Wireless APs that are plugged into them are key); when students are paying significant sums of money for the University Education having a sure fire connection the internet is a must.

 

Thus; powering switches 24/7 = very important to me
