What is Schneider Electric-APC Smart-UPS VT [EOL]?

Smart-UPS VT offers centralized three-phase power protection with the reliability of the award winning Smart-UPS family. Ideal for small data centers, large retail stores, regional offices, and dense power requirements, the Smart-UPS VT includes dual-mains input, automatic and maintenance bypasses, and scalable runtime with hot-swappable batteries for increased availability. The rack mounted version maximizes valuable floor space by incorporating UPS, power distribution, and additional battery capacity in a single rack. Low cost of ownership is achieved through best-in-class efficiency and a reduction in rating of electrical infrastructure - wires, transformers, and generators due the Smart-UPS VT's Soft Start feature. The APC Network Management Card with temperature monitoring provides remote monitoring and management through a simple Web/SNMP interface and provides integration with InfraStruXure Manager. Serviceability is greatly enhanced by user-replaceable batteries, manageable extended run frames and included start-up and standard onsite warranty services. All these features make the Smart-UPS VT the easiest UPS in its class to deploy, manage and maintain.

ALEJANDRO MONTES DE OCA TORRES

Sales at Inntelco

Mexico's situation is too difficult. While there may be many complaints, many projects may be canceled because funds are not currently available. I want to improve a lot of things, but the main point is money. The vendor could be better, but the point is that we don't have the right vendor in Guadalajara. Guadalajara is a small town in Mexico, and there are no expert engineers in that field here. We need to hire people from Monterey, and from Mexico, which is why the solution may be expensive. We don't want to buy a cheaper solution because cheaper isn't always better. We have no desire to save money, we would like a solution. Schneider's vendor, I believe, needs to be more involved with the customer. We have to constantly look for them because they don't come to me. I have to go there, and I don't want to. I don't want to waste time looking for a vendor. We require immediate attention. It should be easier to contact technical support.

As long as we have electricity, we don't use it as it's transparent. However, I have other APC Smart systems and find that all of them are working perfectly. We like that we can manage it via the network. The product is very easy. The product has been very reliable. You can scale it by adding batteries.

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten. There's a little room for improvement. Recently, we've encountered some faulty units. Also, in terms of the accuracy of the stability it should provide, there have been instances where it wasn't as stable as expected. So, reaching a perfect ten isn't quite there.

Schneider Electric-APC Smart-UPS VT [EOL] Reviews Summary
Author info	Rating	Review Summary
Sales at Inntelco	4.0	I find the Schneider Electric-APC Smart-UPS VT stable, reliable, and backed by good technical support for my data center. However, the vendor's lack of proactive engagement is a significant inconvenience, prompting me to seek them out.
Managing Director at Prodigious Film (Groupe Publicis)	4.0	I find this APC solution reliable, stable, and easy to manage, despite its higher cost. It's scalable, but I wish the battery life was longer, as batteries need replacing every 2-3 years. I rate it an eight out of ten.
Management Board Member and Network Engineer at NewLogics	4.5	We use the Schneider Electric-APC Smart-UPS VT for protecting IT infrastructure in sectors like banking and healthcare. Its stability and powerful management software are valuable, though pricing could be improved. Achieving ROI typically takes up to three years.
Electrical and Instrumentation Engineer at a mining and metals company with 1,001-5,000 employees	4.5	I've used this reliable backup power solution for 12 years with good stability and support. However, I face controller issues, spare parts difficulty, and desire cloud management. I'm evaluating alternatives despite a 9/10 rating.
Senior System Administrator at a manufacturing company with 201-500 employees	4.0	I appreciate the management card's ability to shut down servers and monitor power from the building. However, the software needs a new GUI, as its current functionality is adequate but could be improved.
