Schneider Electric, a leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, is introducing the APC™ Smart-UPS™ Modular Ultra, described as the most sustainable uninterruptible power supply (UPS) of its kind. At 50% smaller, 60% lighter and with 2.5x more power density than comparable offerings, Smart-UPS Modular Ultra is the smallest, lightest and most powerful modular 5-20 kW UPS in the industry, with the further benefits of lithium ion technology. This UPS provides customers with scalable power in the smallest footprint, freeing up space for critical IT or other equipment, as well as maximising uptime and lowering total cost of ownership.
With APC Smart-UPS Modular Ultra, Schneider Electric is reinventing the single-phase modular UPS category to meet evolving customer needs around distributed edge computing and hybrid IT environments.
The Smart-UPS Modular Ultra is designed to help IT professionals and solution providers address ongoing concerns in edge and distributed IT. It is the first single-phase modular UPS with lithium-ion technology. Its modular, scalable and redundant design enables customers to scale deployments and add resilience as business needs change.
Organisations today are relying on digital technologies to scale at the edge. As they create new products and services for customers or improve customer experience, they must also become more operationally efficient and sustainable by transitioning to digital-first connected operations.
Recent research indicates that worldwide spending on edge computing is continuing to grow. Importantly, while edge computing is a significant enabler of the digital-first paradigm, cybersecurity, reliability and skills remain top challenges when transitioning to a digital-first connected ecosystem.
“To meet the evolving needs of today’s digital world, the local, regional and cloud data centres of the future must be designed to be sustainable, resilient, efficient and adaptable. The introduction of the Smart-UPS Modular Ultra strengthens the innovative Smart-UPS Ultra portfolio with 3 kW and 5 kW UPSs and now the Modular Ultra 5-20 kW,” said Tarunjeet Sarao, Senior Vice President, Transactional & Edge Line of Business at Schneider Electric. “Smart-UPS Modular Ultra, provides a new level of resilience and power protection with scalable power in an unmatched size, 50% smaller than any comparable UPS. The result is best-in-class power protection in a scalable and redundant design that saves space, time and money.”
APC Smart-UPS Modular Ultra is EcoStruxure™ ready, allowing for cloud-based or on-premises monitoring and management, data-driven recommendations and enhanced visibility across multiple UPS devices and sites with EcoStruxure IT solutions. Connectivity is available via the Network Management Card.
This latest innovation from Schneider Electric builds on the ground-breaking introduction of the APC Smart-UPS Ultra, and will be available initially in the US, Canada and Japan in the second half of 2022, following in other markets in 2023.
