Usually the maximum impact of the increasing power deficit is borne by organizations in Tier II and III cities, especially the Small and Medium enterprises. These emerging enterprises are often plagued by unpredictable power disturbances like spikes, surges and black outs. They are increasingly opting for solutions that will not only ensure smooth running of their critical facilities and server rooms during long power outages, but also be energy efficient to reduce energy costs.

The SmartUPS is compatible to a wide range of generators, it also ensures tight voltage & frequency regulation, zero transfer time for reactive loads, longer battery backup and extended run capability making it an ideal solution for the harsh environments of Tier II & III cities. The SmartUPS units are also easily adaptable to any space thanks to the optional tower mounting and rack mounting configuration
Availability
The Smart UPS comes with Long battery backup and a 1000 W in-built charger that re-charges batteries in no time. This ensures additional runtime with uninterrupted power load.

Additionally, the capability to parallel two units for redundancy ensures better availability.
Manageability
