Hi
Looking for a UPS for my organisation. It will need to support:
- 2 x IBM System X3650 M4 (VMware Hosts)
- 1 x IBM Storwize V3700vr (SAN)
- 1 x Cisco ASA 5506X firewall
- 1 x Cisco 891F router
- 2 x Netgear GS724T
- 1 X Netgear GS748T
This is the critical infrastructure - there are other switches about that are not in the Comms cupboard. I have calculated the consumption (using the APC calculator) to be 2645 watts - this is 98% load of an APC SRT3000XLI and 45% load on the SRT5KXLI.
Would getting an additional battery pack on a SRT3000XLI allow me to add to the load should I attached more switches/servers/storage, or should I go for the SRT5KXLI?
Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but I never had to spec a UPS before.
