Hi there,
Was in discussion to get a UPS setup at our office.
Backup plan with UPS is only to get enough time to soft shutdown of servers and important network devices. We will get UPS with 30 minutes backup setup, by considering all loads from important devices.
If there is any real power failure happens, while we are at work, we get alert or notice and go run to soft shutdown the important servers and network devices, but what if we are on Weekend, where after 30 minutes, UPS will run out of charge and let sudden shutdown of all devices, which is similar to no UPS plan in place.
So looking for UPS option, which really shutdown Windows server and Cisco switches etc. after 10 minutes of power failure. Other than managing power fluctuation problems etc.
Question is, does APC Smart-UPS SRT 3000VA 230V will be able fulfill our requirement?
