Frequently Asked Questions
What size UPS do I need for a server rack?
Add the load of every device that must stay on, then size above that total so the UPS is not running at its limit from day one. Units in this category start at 2 kVA and move up from there, which suits a rack with servers, switches and a firewall.
Which brands do you stock in high capacity UPS?
This category carries APC and Vertiv. APC appears through its Smart UPS range and Vertiv through its Liebert line, with pricing that runs from entry level units up to premium models.
Can I get a large UPS delivered outside Karachi?
Yes. Our showroom is in Karachi and we deliver nationwide across Pakistan. Payment can be made by cash on delivery or online payment, and it helps to share your site access details when you place the order.
High capacity UPS units from APC and Vertiv for server racks, network rooms and offices running several workstations on one protected supply.
2 kVA and Above UPS Systems
2 kVA and above UPS units carry loads that a desk level backup cannot hold. This range covers server racks, network closets, clinic equipment rooms and offices where several workstations and a server share one protected supply. The starting point for a buyer here is the total load that must stay alive through an outage, not the size of the desk it sits under.
Two brands hold this shelf, APC and Vertiv. Vertiv appears through its Liebert line, APC through its Smart UPS range, and both step past single machine backup into rack and room level protection. The price spread across the category is wide. Entry level units suit one rack with a light load, while premium models are aimed at rooms where a drop in power stops the work of a whole floor.
Three decisions shape the choice.
- First, add the connected load and then leave headroom, because batteries lose capacity with age and equipment gets added to a rack long after the UPS was bought.
- Second, decide what the runtime is for: a short bridge until a generator picks up needs less battery than riding out a full outage on the UPS alone.
- Third, confirm the output connections and the input supply in the room, since units at this size can need a wired connection into a distribution board, and your electrician should know that before the unit arrives.
Who Buys From This Range
A rack holding two servers, a switch and a firewall sits in this category rather than in the smaller sibling ranges. So does a clinic where billing terminals and diagnostic equipment cannot restart mid procedure, and a back office where a file server, a router and a dozen machines all fail together when the mains cut. A single computer with a monitor and a router belongs in the lower kVA categories instead, where the price and the footprint match the load.
Mega Computer keeps a showroom in Karachi where you can see this class of UPS before buying, and ships nationwide across Pakistan. Payment works by cash on delivery or online payment. Ask our staff about the brand warranty terms that apply to the model you are considering, and tell us the room layout when you order so the delivery matches what your site can take.
