I have an APC Symmetra. Most of its parts are redundant so, if
something goes down, you should have time to replace it before the unit
goes completely out. Nothing has failed so I haven't had to rely on the
redundancy. The main drawback is they are EXPENSIVE.

We have been using APCC for years. From the small 500VA ones up to a 30KVA
Silcon. No issues what so ever, with there product or their support.
They even "next day air" a Silcon unit when it was DOA. Not sure how they
did that since the unit is about 1500lbs...

We've got several APCs, and some Tripplites.

We've replaced many batteries where they were swollen and had leaked.
Maybe 3 to 4 years old and had not had more than an hour or two total
battery run time.
So far the Tripplites ha

We ues APC as well. Only failures I have had to deal with are batteries at
least 3 years old and some of the UPS's are on their 3 or 4 at this point.
As for server or rack installs the smallest we use are the 3kVA's I have 2

Our schools use APC. We use a mix of server systems (Linux, MacOSX and
Windows), and all of them support the APC units for graceful shutdowns. Also,
we have purchased our first APC Netshelter rack, which we chose as it looked
extremely expandable with power and air venting modules.
