Rack Mountable Uninterruptible Power Supply

Get Seamless Protection of Your NAS Operations With a Rack Mount Power Supply

If you're searching for the right way to protect your data integrity in case of a blackout, one of the uninterruptible rack mount power supplies in this collection could offer you a viable solution for your application. Finding the rack-mountable power equipment that you need is easy when you shop on eBay. Here are a few factors that you should keep in mind as you select the right unit to protect your server.

Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units wire directly into your electrical grid. This feature means that you won't lose power to your NAS array no matter what; when you connect your array to a UPS, it will automatically run on DC battery power that has been converted to AC electricity. If the power goes out, your server array won't need to switch over to a different power source. In this way, the continuity of your operations is assured, and since your HDDs and SSDs won't ever be deprived of power, you won't have to worry about data loss or drive failure due to loss of power.

In addition, the UPS units in this collection mount directly into your server rack, which means that these bulky units don't take up any space on the floor or in other inconvenient locations. Depending on how much power your NAS array needs, you may only need one UPS unit to supply power to your entire server apparatus if a sustained power outage occurs.

Here are some examples of the rack types that these UPS units mount onto:

• 2U: 2U server racks are the smallest options available.
• 3U: These server racks are medium-sized.
• 4U: 4U racks are the largest options offered, and they are usually reserved for enterprise-tier servers.

As you select the right UPS unit for your purposes, you'll need to keep the type of server rack that you have in mind. For instance, a UPS that's designed for a 2U server rack won't fit into the 4U rack that you have for your enterprise-tier NAS units. Also, you'll need to keep your power consumption needs in mind; the higher the VA rating on a UPS unit, the more power it can provide before it is depleted.
