We purchased a handful of mid-sized TrippLite UPSes (somewhere between 1000 and 3000 VA) for phone systems back in 2002/2003. The management interface was horrible, and the Management cards themselves were more than a little unreliable. If they were out of warranty, TrippLite offered ZERO support, not even a pay per incident. In order to get support I would have had to buy new management cards...
Needless to say we are a 100% APC shop now, and are satisfied. FWIW, we also bought infrastruXure manager to centrally manage all of our closet systems along with our Data Center. Jonathan L.
