Hello Alpha Managers,
I am about to buy some more UPS boxes. So far we have purchased
a number of power-protection Uninterruptible Power Supply units
including the Back-UPS and Smart-UPS units from American Power
Conversion (APC). I have just learned that APC has recently
released a new series of these types of units, the Back-UPS Pro
series, which have many new features, including user-replaceable
batteries, a self-test of the batteries, etc.; the user-replaceable
batteries would be nicer than having to ship the units to a service
organization for replacement. I found that DataComm Warehouse has
the some new units in stock now, including the Back-UPS Pro 1000,
which they are selling for $429.95 + shipping. This seems a good
price (The Back-UPS 900 is selling for $389.95 but has the old-style
battery system and less diagnostics, etc.). Does anyone have
any other sources for these units with which you have dealt
successfully? Does anyone have any comments on this general area
of hardware they'd like to share? Thanks!
