We use Liebert UPS here. We have a building wide backup generator that
causes no end of distress to the couple remainign APC we have.
Before buying Liebert, we asked Cal. Office of Emergency Services(OES)
what they used. Apparently, they tried them all and the only one they use now
is Liebert.
We have stacks of them and they work flawlessly. Can't say that about the
APCs we have.
