3U Rack or Tower UPS units feature Advanced Battery Management (ABM) technology that uses a unique
three-stage charging technique that significantly extends battery service life and optimizes recharge time,
compared to traditional charging methods.
3U Rack or Tower UPS units can enhance system availability with individual receptacle groups or load
segments that can be programmed and controlled, which allows mission-critical devices to be prioritized
during shutdown to preserve battery run time if there is a prolonged power outage.
3U Rack or Tower UPS units come standard with UPS Manager software that integrates seamlessly with
the major virtualization platforms, which enables you to view and manage your entire power system from
your current dashboard. It also triggers live migration during power outages and avoids data loss by
gracefully shutting down virtual machines and hosts in a cluster if there is an extended power outage.
