I'm a little unclear, are you looking for an AC UPS, or to run everything off DC? You mention inverter so I'm thinking you want an AC system?
Also, is this going in a controlled environment like a NOC, or will it be in an outdoor temperature environment? And what is your budget? Sounds like you are finding $1,000 too expensive? If you are looking for an AC UPS that you attach your own battery bank to, that is spec'd for outdoor temps, and that has all the features built in, look at Alpha FXM series. Crossover Distribution can get you quotes. FXM650 would meet your power requirements, but I'd look at FXM1100 as long as you're OK with a 48V battery string.
