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 — with an SNMP Network Management Card (NMC) and shutdown agents, it integrates with VMware PowerChute, Veeam, NetApp ONTAP, and standard SNMP traps for orchestration platforms.

Do you provide installation and battery disposal?

Installation, commissioning and battery recycling can be quoted as options for Dubai and the wider UAE. For the broader GCC, ask about on-site services when you request a quote.
