Industry’s most space-optimized modular UPS solutions
Engineered to deliver the highest level of business continuity possible, the Symmetra LX uses a modular, redundant architecture that can scale power and runtime as demand increases or when higher levels of availability are required. With built-in network manageability, and rack-optimized and tower models available from 4-16 kVA N+1 redundant, the online Symmetra LX is the choice to protect high-performance IT and Telecom equipment in business-critical server and network rooms. A flexible rack/stack design offers unmatched runtime and power capacity in space constrained environments. Symmetra LX allows incredibly fast upgrades and maintenance with virtually all of its parts contained in field-swappable components. These include hot-swappable, user-replaceable power, battery, and intelligence modules, management cards, LCD display, fans, and external battery frames. Additionally the wiring tray, frame electronics, receptacles, and casters can be swapped in minutes if necessary. Symmetra LX achieves industry-leading footprint or U-space needed in an equipment rack, increased speed and ease of deployment, and reduced repair time.
