The introduction of the new product line comes amidst the realisation that global IT trends, such as increasing power density resulting from the use of blade servers, network and server consolidation and migration, are rapidly changing IT networks.
Mr. Jim Simonelli, APC's vice president for solutions delivery says: "The goal of our Smart-UPS RT line is to not only provide support to power hungry blade servers and heavily loaded equipment racks, but to offer a flexible form factor allowing standardisation across multiple applications."
The 6000VA and 8000VA models round out the Smart-UPS family and give customers the ability to implement pioneering solutions for computer rooms to data-centres with 1-20 racks.
High power internal chargers allow virtually unlimited additional matching battery packs to comply with aggressive runtime demands of business-critical systems.
The units are available in tower as well as rack-optimised (3U and 6U) models that are tested and certified for use within APC's InfraStruXure architecture.
As customers' physical infrastructure needs change and expand, the Smart-UPS RT line helps IT professionals easily configure and use integrated solutions for their networks.
Ideal for applications requiring two hour or longer runtimes, the Smart-UPS has the ability to add unlimited hot-swappable battery packs and offers a high efficiency inverter design.
Features such as a wide input voltage range, intelligent precision charging, and UPS battery management all help ensure maximum battery life.
Additionally, a flexible form factor allows easy deployment in either an integrated InfraStruXure solution, an IT rack environment, or as a stand-alone unit for medical lab or light industrial sites.
All units come with a remote management capability featuring APC's PowerChute monitoring and management software.
In addition, centralised management of the Smart-UPS is simple using APC's InfraStruXure Manager as well as other server management tools such as Intel's LAN Manager and similar tools from HP, IBM, Sun, Cisco and other hardware vendors.
