Matrix-UPS
™
High reliability, low operating costs,
and manageability to defend your
datacenter
and
your bottom line
When mission-critical datacenter applications such as fileservers, midrange systems and telecom equipment
are on the line, you need a UPS that can take care of your loads and take care of itself.
Matrix-UPS, from APC, provides advanced modular UPS protection and award-winning, customizable
management features.
With an innovative, high-availability design, and included software, Matrix means high reliability, low
operating costs, and manageability that will defend both your datacenter and your bottom line.
* Lifecycle costs are based on third party testing under the following conditions:
1. Electricity cost = $0.1/kWhr 2. System operates 24 hours per day 3. UPS loaded to 50% capacity.
The Line-Interactive Advantage
Low lifecycle cost
Over five years, a
5kVA Matrix-UPS
will cost approxi-
mately $900* in
electricity to run,
while competitive
brands approach
$2,800. Matrix-UPS’
high efficiency
means minimal
wasted energy,
dramatically reduced
lifetime costs, and
long battery life.
Optimized design
Matrix-UPS’ line-interactive design delivers
zero-transfer time with computer loads and deep
brownout protection with 75% fewer components
in the power path than traditional double-conver-
sion designs. Fewer components means better
efficiency, and far greater reliability. There is also
no need to oversize for inrush current, so you pay
for only the power rating you need.
High efficiency
Moreover, Matrix-UPS is 93% efficient at full
load, while some UPSs are only 70% to 80%
efficient. The excess heat generated by these
units not only wastes energy and reduces
battery life, it may also create a need for
special air conditioning.

“The first modular UPS with SNMP support... The modular
configuration allows the possible points of failure... to be hot
swappable without affecting the protection afforded the file-
servers... If you need managed power protection today and
the flexibility to increase your coverage tomorrow, APC’s
modular Matrix-UPS provides fully paid insurance...”
