UPS for a little company
I have to buy a UPS and I'm going to a SmartUPS. I only have to connect:
1 Dell server
1 or 2 PC
1 or 2 Raspberry
1 switch 24 ports
1 router
With an instrument I measured the values for about half a day and I detected these:
V 219.5
Amp 1.31
W Between 255 and 261
W Max: 330
Power Factor between 81 and 89
KW / h 1.5
VMWare ESXi 6.7 is installed on the Dell server with 7 VMs that turn off one after the other within about 15 minutes.
I then have 5 other PCs, each with its own UPS. I would like to install Powerchute to control the shutdown of the main PCs, Raspberry, VMs and ESXi server. Possibly I would also like to send a signal to the other PCs so that they can be turned off.
My budget is modest and I would like to stay under € 1,000; possibly around € 800 at the most. Which SmartUPS model do you recommend?
