THE DAYS OF MAINFRAME COMPUTING
In the heyday of mainframe computing, all critical power and cooling shared the same space as the hefty computer itself.
1960sTHE EARLY YEARS ...
GIVING BACK CONTROL OF “IT”
Subsequent innovation led to the development (in conjunction with Novell®) of a code that enabled the UPS to “talk” to a server that needed to shut down gracefully in the event of utility power failure.
INDUSTRY-CHANGING UPS DESIGN
POWER MANAGEMENT IS REVOLUTIONIZED
APC PowerChute™ software truly gave companies a way to keep the hardware in their distributed IT environments safe by allowing servers to gracefully shut down and, in turn, save critical data that lives on the sensitive hard drives.
A NEW LEVEL OF UPS MANAGEMENT
The Smart-UPS™ brand of UPS units is introduced with UPS-link protocol, allowing customers to use software to manage and configure their UPS. These solutions quickly grew to become the industry’s premier network power protection solution.
APC DEVELOPS NEW CODE THAT ENABLES THE UPS TO “TALK” TO SERVERS.

PROACTIVE MONITORING HEIGHTENS AVAILABILITY
The first networked UPS units allowed customers to monitor and control their UPS units over their network via SNMP. This capability enabled users to receive alerts to potential downtime situations before they occur, giving availability an innovative boost in protection.

MEAN TIME TO REPAIR REDUCED FROM DAYS TO MINUTES
At the same time, Matrix UPS units were the first with a modular configuration and hot-swap design. These industry-changing features reduced Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) from a matter of days to a matter of minutes!
AT PRESENT, THERE ARE OVER
40 MILLION BACK-UPS UNITS USED GLOBALLY.
Back-UPS units became the first UPS with Plug and Play technology to automatically load software drivers and serial connection for Windows® 95.
This pioneering precision battery-charging system and automatic self tests contribute to longer battery life, higher availability, and reduced operating costs.
INDUSTRY-CHANGING UPS DESIGN
Smart-UPS battery backups emerged as the first Web-manageable UPS, providing flexible and convenient power management of the UPS from any place at any time, in turn, ensuring highest availability of mission-critical equipment.
FIRST USER-REPLACEABLE BATTERIES
Both Back-UPS™ and Smart-UPS lines introduced hot-swappable user-replaceable batteries, which can be changed by the user without powering down the connected equipment for seamless operations.
