Tripp Lite Introduces "Zero Downtime" Hot-Swappable UPS Systems
Chicago, IL (March 14, 2006)-Tripp Lite, a world-leading manufacturer of power protection equipment, has introduced two new SmartOnline(TM) Hot-Swappable Modular UPS Systems promising zero downtime for connected server, storage and networking equipment. End users can perform all potential UPS maintenance-from battery replacement to complete power module exchange-without powering down connected equipment and paying high-priced service specialists. The systems also include features such as scalable runtime via optional battery packs and the ability to configure multiple systems to deliver N+1 availability, setting a new best-in-class standard.
The foundation of the hot-swappable modular design is a unique power distribution unit (PDU) that manages all input and output power connections and incorporates a manual bypass switch. Combined with the dynamic internal bypass feature that keeps power flowing to connected equipment in the event of a component problem, the manual bypass feature of the PDU enables UPS system maintenance and component replacement without power interruption and costly maintenance-related downtime.
Available in capacities of 5000VA (Model: SU5000RT4U) and 6000VA (Model: SU6000RT4U), SmartOnline Hot-Swappable Modular UPS Systems deliver high power density in an all-in-one compact 4U form factor, maximizing productivity for server networking racks and other applications where space is at a premium. The addition of tower stands for vertical installation provides a compact, powerful and flexible single-system solution for the diverse and evolving needs of businesses today.
"With the award-winning technology of our SmartOnline series well established, Tripp Lite is excited to introduce these practical innovations to our expanding enterprise customer base," says David Slotten, Tripp Lite's Director of Product Management. "The obvious utility of our hot-swappable modular architecture, combined with runtime scalability, extensive manageability and N+1 options for multiple power supplies represents a leap forward versus legacy systems costing thousands more."
The zero downtime, high power density design adds to industry-leading features customers expect from SmartOnline UPS Systems, such as true on-line operation for complete isolation of sensitive equipment from power problems, output flexibility (2 L6-30R, 2 L6-20R, 8 5-15/20R; 120/240V or 120/208V output; optional hardwire capability), simultaneously addressable communication ports, SNMP communications slot, EPO interface, free PowerAlert software for remote IP-based enterprise-level system management and scalable runtime capability (with optional battery packs).
Available in March, the SmartOnline Hot-Swappable Modular UPS Systems will ship immediately from stock without the production and delivery delays associated with most competing products.
