Tripp Lite SmartPro

I work at a University with multiple campuses and each campus has multiple communication rooms. We currently use Tripp Lite SmartPro in all our communication rooms as these rooms are not on any other sort of enterprise building UPS. We use the SmartPro as they have been found to be reliable from our testing and have the ability to provide alerting of power outages.

It is well suited for remote rooms where having alerts on power failure is helpful for reporting. It is also well suited for situations where having a display on the UPS is useful, such as knowing the estimated running time. Those two scenarios are very useful to us which is why we prefer the Smart Ups series.

We use Tripp Lite SmartPro UPS for over 50 communications closets that have an average of 2-3 switches each. We needed a device that could keep power going for around 15 minutes as we have regular power outages for that usually last less than 1 minute. We also needed to send an email alert whenever it lost power.

We use it in our many communication closets at our various locations and it does the job it needs to do by providing power during an outage and keeping devices online. It is also great as it sends email alerts on power failure and power resumption that get sent directly to our helpdesk system to track outages for reporting purposes.

I was working as an operations manager for a medium-sized managed service provider. We almost exclusively used Tripp Lite SmartPro UPSs on all of our clients' servers and network equipment. We struggled for a while with cheaper options burning out on us or failing quite frequently but since moving to Tripp Lite SmartPro we have had a very consistent performance.

In our experience, Tripp Lite SmartPro has been a really strong solution in almost all areas and all businesses we support. The only thing that comes to mind that might make this solution less desirable would be for a small business with a very simple IT Setup not being able to justify the cost of a more robust UPS.
