Moving to Colo, quick question!

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening Everyone,

As the title states, we are planning to move our datacenters over to a colocation facility sometime in the near future. In order to get an accurate quote, we are required to provide an approximation for the total draw of out UPS's(all APC). That said, i would like to know if there is a recommended way to pull power statistice from the UPS's, etiher by software(please elaborate if so), or is the real-time usage meters on the forward displays an accurate resource?

The Models are as follows:

SUA1500

SUA1500RM2U

SMX1500RM2U

SMX1500RM2UNC

I have compiled an approximation, based off of information on the forward display, during high load periods, but i just want to assure that this is as accurate as possible before sending it off.

Thank's in advance for your time!

I would say the best I can offer is looking at the % wattage outputs on the UPS at look at the peak like you did and refer to the data log on the UPS to get an idea of that figure over time. You'd then confirm the total amount of watts the UPS can provide to understand what the draw is based on the percentage. This info (total watts the UPS can provide) is available on their product pages if you look them up or just google it.

This APC Trade-Off tool also may help you indentify more realistic numbers to account for UPS losses, etc. http://www.apc.com/tool/?tt=5  is a link to that tool. It allows you to look at your UPS power draws, efficiencies, etc and I think once you set the UPS load, it will tell you the actual draw/losses of the UPS.
