The newest generation of UPSs help organizations meet digitization goals while addressing space constraints and maximizing uptime and resiliency. Credit: Schneider In this era of digital transformation, as we witness the runaway growth of edge computing , the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is doing its part to help organizations achieve scalability, redundancy, and resiliency goals. With traditional UPSs, if you need to expand, you typically must purchase another unit that will sit next to the existing UPS or replace it with more capacity. Some organizations anticipate this by overprovisioning. They might deploy a 10kVA unit even though their current needs call for only 5kVA. In some cases, the added capacity never gets used. However, businesses can get a lot more power that allows for the expansion of IT with a modular UPS , and this is particularly useful for edge computing sites. With modular UPSs, you can keep expanding in 5kVA increments up to 20kVA as the company grows. You save on upfront costs by purchasing only the capacity required until your needs increase. With new UPS solutions such as the APC Smart-UPS Modular Ultra , you also get more real power with modular units thanks to an increase […]
