Big advancements are coming to 3-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and they all spell good news for organizations that operate critical data centers, including edge and micro data centers. These advancements – bringing greater efficiency and modularity to UPSs, along with a reduced footprint, improved connectivity and a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) – are adding value for anyone trying to save time, save money and lower management risk.

This is just the right time for improvements to UPS technology because edge and micro data centers are becoming more crucial for organizations as they capitalize on trends like Internet of Things, mobile applications, and cloud computing; all of which require compute power at the network edge. Organizations across numerous verticals including retail, transportation, emergency lighting and light industrial, are finding that edge data centers have unique requirements for uptime availability, monitoring and servicing.
