APC, Eaton, Vertiv, CyberPower across SOHO line-interactive, SMB online double-conversion, and rack-mount 3kVA+. Sized for the load, specified for the runtime.
Power continuity sits next to storage and surveillance as the third pillar of UAE business IT — utility power is generally reliable but generator-switching events, summer-load brownouts, and the occasional construction-related cut still happen. The UPS layer protects against the seconds-to-minutes gap.
We supply APC, Eaton, Vertiv, and CyberPower across the spectrum — line-interactive SOHO units (1–2kVA), double-conversion online for racks and servers (2–10kVA), and the larger 3-phase systems for data centre rooms (10kVA+). Battery replacement and runtime extensions handled in-house.
The factors that actually decide the spec — not the marketing matrix.
Calculate connected load in watts (server + network + monitor + critical). Add 25% headroom. UPS VA rating typically 1.4× the watt load. A 1,000W IT load needs ~1,500VA UPS minimum — undersized UPS deteriorates batteries fast.
Line-interactive UPS is fine for desktops and basic networking. Servers, NAS, and surveillance NVRs need online double-conversion — no transfer time and clean sine wave output. Specify online for any 24/7 IT load.
Internal UPS battery typically gives 5–15 minutes runtime at full load. For longer runtime, attach external battery packs (EBM) — same brand, matched voltage. We size and supply the EBM modules to match the target runtime.
Sealed lead-acid batteries (most UPS) lose capacity from year 2. Plan replacement at year 3 — overheating UAE batteries last shorter than rated. We stock replacement battery cartridges for the common APC, Eaton, and CyberPower models.

For 5–10 desktops with a switch and small NAS, a 1.5–2kVA line-interactive UPS (APC Back-UPS Pro, CyberPower CP1500) covers it. For a server rack with one server + switch + NAS, step up to 2–3kVA online double-conversion (APC Smart-UPS SRT, Eaton 9PX).
Internal battery typically 5–15 minutes at full load. With external battery modules (EBM), 30 minutes to 4+ hours depending on configuration. We size battery runtime to the specific gap the customer needs — typically 15–30 minutes is enough for graceful shutdown.
We supply the UPS hardware and provide configuration recommendations. Physical installation for rack-mount UPS runs through partner MEP contractors. For smaller line-interactive units, the customer's IT team typically handles installation.
Every 3 years in UAE conditions. Higher ambient temperatures shorten battery life — UPS rated for 5 years typically lasts 3 in unconditioned IT closets. Schedule a battery replacement quote at year 3 and renew at year 6.
Back-UPS is line-interactive — fine for desktops and basic networking. Smart-UPS is online double-conversion — required for servers and 24/7 IT loads. Price scales accordingly. Specify Smart-UPS for any server or NAS load.
Yes — replacement battery cartridges for the common APC RBC-series, Eaton, and CyberPower models stocked in volume. For less common spares (input modules, network management cards), we order on demand with 5–10 business day lead time.
