Frequently asked questions
How long will this UPS run my load?
Runtime is load-dependent. Most enterprise UPS at 50% load deliver 8-12 minutes battery on standard internal batteries. Add external battery packs (XL / RBC modules) to extend to 30-60 minutes if you need ride-through past short utility blips.
Can it integrate with VMware vCenter / Veeam for graceful shutdown?
Yes — we ship the SNMP / Network Management Card (NMC) alongside the UPS, plus shutdown agents that integrate with VMware PowerChute, Veeam, NetApp ONTAP, and standard SNMP traps for orchestration platforms.
Do you provide installation and battery disposal?
For Dubai and the wider UAE we offer installation, commissioning, and battery recycling per municipality regulations. For broader GCC we partner with local certified electricians and recyclers — included as an option in the quote.
What is the lead time on larger 10-20 kVA models?
Stocked tier (under 10 kVA): 5-7 business days. 10-20 kVA: 2-4 weeks typically. 20+ kVA modular / parallel systems: 6-10 weeks vendor-side, plus on-site commissioning scheduling. Real numbers quoted with every order.
