Preferred UPS - And How do you manage??

[kharjigli]

Hello,

As we approach Hurricane season, I am auditing all customer's UPS units, and I thought it would be a good time to open the discussion to UPS.

• What all are you using for UPS? APC is the staple, but I know the unit type depends on the location, what it's backing up, and what you're hoping to get out of it time wise? Or just a controlled shutdown ?

• How are you managing your UPS (if you are)? Do you have a UPS with a UPS network card? Are you just doing a management station with USB pass-thru ? Raspberry Pi ?

• How often do you force change a UPS vs just changing the battery tray?

Email alerting on DOWN CONDITIONS is the biggest ask for me.

Let's discuss! What do you got?
