We have *almost* all of our network closets on centralized UPS (10 to 40 KVA) that is fed from an e-power circuit that has a emergency generator behind it. These units are on a maintenance contract and batteries are replaced on a regular schedule as required.
For the few closets are unable to participate in this, we use standalone UPS units. Not contract, but again we replace the batteries regularly. We have lost a couple of the standalone units over time but we do keep a spare unit for quick replacement.

If you do not build in backup power, do you put your switches on a maintenance contract, or do you pay to replace them when they fail outside of warranty? Thanks very much. Sandy Sandra H.
