Access layer UPS options?

[Trifid]

We currently have many APC 6000VA Smart UPS installed in our access layer switch cabinets but have been disappointed with how long the batteries last before the UPS rejects them. This is despite the previous week it saying the run time was more then adequate and more or less the same as they were when installed. However some of these have failed in a spectacular fashion bringing the network down too (no power cuts/surges etc at the time) and this has completely dented our confidence in the product.

Anyway the point of this thread is, what do you have installed? Do they have decent monitoring capabilities (email alerts/SNMP)?

We need 1x 32 amp input, 2x 16 amp outputs and handful of 13 amps if that influences your answers.

Thanks.

Something by Eaton with the Network monitoring cards in.

Something from the 9SX range should be beefy enough for you.

Thanks for your suggestion, the 9SX6KiRT appears to be a direct replacement. Do you have any personal experience with their products? How long do the batteries tend to last?

Will take a look at the calibration when I'm back on site next week, as far as I'm aware it's never been done!
