APC Power Protection Engineered for Uptime-Critical Environments

Schneider Electric builds the APC UPS systems, rack PDUs, battery backup units, and power management accessories that IT teams standardize on when uptime is non-negotiable. The lineup spans Back-UPS standby units for home offices to Smart-UPS Online double-conversion systems rated for data center loads, covering every power protection scenario from a single desktop workstation to a multi-rack server room. Pair Schneider Electric power infrastructure with networking equipment and servers for end-to-end protection across your infrastructure.

Schneider Electric for Every Environment

• Server rooms and data centers — Smart-UPS Online (SRT and SRV series) double-conversion UPS systems deliver zero-transfer-time power protection for mission-critical servers, storage arrays, and virtualization hosts
• Network closets and edge computing — Smart-UPS line-interactive units with AVR correct brownouts and overvoltages without switching to battery, keeping switches, firewalls, and access points running cleanly
• Point-of-sale and retail — Back-UPS Pro models protect registers, receipt printers, and payment terminals from the brief outages and surges that corrupt transactions and halt sales
• Home offices and remote workstations — Back-UPS standby units provide affordable battery backup for desktops, monitors, routers, and VoIP phones during short outages
• Medical and laboratory equipment — clean, regulated sine wave output from Smart-UPS Online units protects sensitive diagnostic instruments and research hardware from electrical noise

The APC Ecosystem Advantage

APC by Schneider Electric has been the most widely deployed UPS brand in IT environments for decades because its product families interlock into a cohesive power management ecosystem. PowerChute software coordinates graceful automated shutdowns across Windows, macOS, and Linux servers. SmartConnect cloud monitoring delivers firmware updates and power health dashboards from any browser. Hot-swappable battery cartridges let technicians restore runtime without powering down connected equipment, and external battery packs scale backup duration as infrastructure grows without replacing the UPS itself. That integration from outlet to cloud dashboard is what separates APC from brands that sell standalone boxes.
