I currently have three APC units. Two are the same model, and one is
their more "industrial" models with a NIC and it is programmable. It
will shut down a *specific* machine by IP address. I have been using
that unit for five years, and the other units for even longer, with
battery replacements when necessary. APC provides *superlative*
technical support. (They have won lots of awards. They also have
"third parties" which service their equipment when it becomes "end of
life." Their software is also first-rate. I have been extremely
satisfied with my APC units, their tech support, and the length of
life of their batteries. When the batteries fail early, their
warranty provides a free replacement.

I had specified APC units for the computers at work for years. Recently,
I tried to save the Tribe some money by buying TrippLite. Big mistake!
The TrippLite units couldn't handle the load even though it was well
within the spec limits. I replaced them with APCs and we now have no
problems. I was penny wise and pound foolish but never again. Sometimes
a bargain is no bargain!
