The Challenge

Retalix sought out a modular solution that would grow

according to its natural needs. As the client’s offices are

spread out over three sites, the solution was to be flexible,

accessible and hot swappable. Thus enabling the client to

swap between modules, reducing the power load in one

site in order to enhance the load of another. The solution

was designated to back up server rooms, laboratories,

development centers, communication centers and more.

Retalix wanted to insure these centers continued to function

at all times with clean and safe power supply.

SA 10 kVA and 10 units of UPS SP ranging from 6 to 30 kVA.

The solution was tailored to fit the customer’s need perfectly,

the Power+ Classic affording easy access, reliability,

scalability, modularity hot swap features and redundancy.

While the Power + SA and MST excel in their extremely small

foot print and robust design.
