I think the big difference is whether its an always on UPS or an instant on (i.e. waits for power to fail before coming on milliseconds) Do you need a UPS with AVR and always-on or can power be out for ½ a second or so?
John-AldrichTile-Tools From: Reimer, Mark [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 16, 2010 10:25 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: UPS's Hi folks, Ive done some (or tried to) research on the differences between APC Backups vs Smart-UPS, or Tripp Lite SmartPro vs OmniSmart. One set (Backups and OmniSmart) seem to be almost ½ price of the other set (Smart-UPS and SmartPro) for the same rated VA/wattage. The only real difference I can find is manageability. These will be for POE switches in wiring closets. Any help/experience will be most appreciated. Thanks.
