I currently have 3 UPS units available to me. (2x APC Smart-UPS 750VA and 1x APC Back-UPS
Pro 1500). I am looking for best configuration options to maximize up time with
the equipment I have listed below. I am not sure what the general rule is when
it comes to POE switches and phones. Are these even worth putting on a battery backup? These
certainly aren’t as important as keeping the file server running when the power
fails. Any suggestions as to what the best configuration would be are greatly appreciated!
Equipment list:
-
Cisco 8000 series router
-
Windows DC and file Server
-
2x Cisco 48 port switches
-
1x Unify 48 port POE switch (for phones +wifihotspots)
-
1x Unify 24 port POE switch (for phones)
-
Avaya IP Office 500 v2 PBX box
-
ISP Demarc router
