Not the cheapest, but the management software and range of features make it a winner
Businesses that can't afford to lose IT operations need to protect their critical systems from power problems. APC's Smart-UPS 1500 can look after multiple servers and associated networking equipment in a small business environment, and at just over $1000 for a near kilowatt UPS it looks good value.
This PDU is great because it takes no room in the rack and it is managed so you can perform remote on/off type functions. Good value.
I use it for my Dell Studio XPS 9100 computer, 21.5" monitor, router, cable modem, speakers, printer. It represents less then 20% load for the UPS (115 W). I had couple of power outages recently. UPS worked great. I was left with 42 minutes of battery power.
Quiet operation; Very powerful; All features work as advertised; Very useful disaplay of parameters like current load, time left (in battery operation
None so far
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Compact; Discreet; Easy To Setup; Quiet; Runs Cool
Hard to turn on or off
Snapped one up for the unbelievable low price of $40 at a local hamfest, thinking it would probably not work and would at the least require a battery replacement. Would you believe it turned out everything works like a champ! I already had a smartUPS model 1000XL which still serves me well.
Lots of power; long runtime; good remote management and diagnostics possible with free software
New they are a bit pricey
Great place to purchase replacement battery. Quick shipping too.
if you have a generator you need a smart-ups for any electronics that have a circuit board
There's really nothing odd about this product: it does exactly what it says on the box. It sends e-mail alerts whenever the battery kicks off, it sends signal to computers via Ethernet to shutdown (up to 40 or 50, I think)
Ease of installation; Ease of configuration
