I've seen a couple people mention the DS6800 so I thought I'd throw my experience in with it. When we replaced out MP3000 (2 drawer file cabinet) with the z9-BC (comparatively huge), we also replaced an ancient RVA (30 square feet of floor space) with a DS6800 solution (7U in an existing rack). Not only did we gain the floor space back, but when I hit the "power-off" on the RVA, I gained 5% of my UPS capacity back!
