Footprint considerations when selecting your next UPS

Ease of Handling and Movement:

Will your new UPS fit in a freight elevator, through existing doorways, and into its final location without dismantling the UPS or making costly facility accommodations?

Weight:

Is your new UPS too heavy to reside on raised flooring or within the confines it needs to occupy? Can it be moved without cranes, fork trucks or heavy equipment?

Infrastructure Cost:

Does your new UPS have redundant, scalable architecture allowing you to upgrade it in the field within existing space constraints?

Upgrades and Retrofits:

Is your existing UPS exceeding capacity with no room to grow? Is this UPS old, inefficient, and too large to upgrade given existing space? Will your new UPS provide service with the ability to grow as needed without commanding costly additional space?

Accessibility:

Can you access your new UPS via the front of the unit? Or must it be placed in the middle of your usable area to allow for a radius of access points? This radius should be included when calculating the footprint of a UPS.

Impact:

Does your UPS cost less to cool, power, maintain and upgrade? Does it have any “Green” features?
