Its been almost a year since I answered..
What is the Best UPS to bring to deserted island?
While not practical, many people have commented that my straightforward approach to highlighting certain UPS features has been a reason they have chosen
GreenlightUPS.
So if thats what the people want... here are some more....
Best UPS for those that drive Hummers:
The
8U Tripplite 5000va unit with 3U power supply, 3U battery pack and 2U transformer makes this unit an impressive item in the rack. At over 250lbs, with 16 output ports, and dual rack rail configuration this is a beast. As a comparison, APC makes a
3U version that outputs essentially the same.
Best UPS if you server closet is a mess:
The
Powerware 9125 3000va 2U combines a a thin powerful UPS with 2 added features for tidyness. First the unit has a 30amp dongle that sticks out of the UPS to connect to your PDU. This frees up the back for regular outlets and keeps your critical PDU connection away from the backplate mess. Second, at a mere 80 lbs, this unit is light enough that you can move or relocate the unit without help. Since that "help" never seems to show up or be available when its time to clean up the server room.
Best UPS for your home... and you don't need your dryer
The
APC 5000va International edition can accept 240volt input. Using your 30amp 240volt dryer plug this unit can provide all the power that ever would need for your home based server farm. A remember, unlike that dryer, this UPS won't steal your sock.
Best UPS if you still use a ZipDrive
In this case you appreciate the retro look and the classic performance that comes with early computer manufacturing. (you could do anything to those Zipdisks... whereas today's external harddrives seem to fail within a couple years). Anyway, the
Tripplite DataCenter 5000, called HAL by some, is UPS for you. At over 200lbs without batteries, this solid iron core UPS will operate
beyond the Infinite.
