Server room kit by site
Size a UPS to the load in watts, then to how long you need it to run.
| Site | Kit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Small office, one server or NAS | Tower UPS and a desktop NAS | Clean shutdown in a power cut and local backups |
| Office comms cabinet | Rackmount UPS and KVM | Keeps switches and firewall up and manages several servers from one console |
| Schools & multi-site | Rackmount UPS per cabinet, rack NAS | Protects each comms room and centralises storage |
| Ageing UPS fleet | Replacement batteries | UPS batteries wear out in a few years; swapping them restores runtime |
Frequently asked questions
How do we size a UPS?
Add up the power draw in watts of everything it will protect, then choose a UPS rated above that, leaving headroom of 20 to 30%. Runtime charts on the listing show how long it will last at your load.
Tower or rackmount UPS?
Tower units suit a desk or small room. Rackmount units fit a 19-inch cabinet, and many convert between the two with a rail kit.
How often do UPS batteries need replacing?
Typically every three to five years, sooner in warm rooms. Most UPS units run a self-test and warn when the battery needs replacing.
Can we buy on account?
Yes. A trade account gives access to trade pricing, bulk discounts and credit of up to £20,000, with a named account manager for repeat orders.
