Downtime isn’t just a technical inconvenience — it’s a business liability. With hybrid workforces, AI-powered operations, and cloud-first strategies, your systems must remain online and accessible at all times. Unfortunately, utility failures, surges, and unstable infrastructure can strike when you least expect them.
Insight partners with APC to provide Smart-UPS solutions that ensure reliable, scalable power for critical systems — whether you’re running a small office server, distributed edge computing, or a multi-rack data center. These uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) bridge the gap during power loss and keep your infrastructure protected against spikes, brownouts, and outages.
When paired with APC’s EcoStruxure IT management platform, Smart-UPS devices enable IT teams to monitor and manage power health remotely — helping teams prevent issues before they become critical. This includes predictive maintenance alerts, real-time battery status, and environmental insights like temperature and humidity.
APC Smart-UPS systems also provide energy efficiency reporting, which helps organizations align with sustainability goals and reduce operational costs. For example, intelligent load-shedding capabilities can help facilities prioritize essential systems during an outage, extending battery life and protecting what matters most.
And because Insight offers implementation and modernization services tailored to public and private sector IT environments, your team can move from reactive to proactive infrastructure management. Insight can assess your current data center or edge setup, recommend the right Smart-UPS models for your workloads, and ensure seamless deployment and integration.
In addition to preventing unplanned downtime, APC Smart-UPS solutions help mitigate long-term wear and tear on hardware. Voltage fluctuations and power surges often contribute to hardware failure, data corruption, and premature equipment replacement. With robust surge protection, line-interactive capabilities, and online double-conversion technology in high-performance models, APC helps extend the life of your IT investment.
Whether you’re supporting digital learning environments, critical government services, or real-time manufacturing operations, the ability to deliver uninterrupted power is foundational to long-term success. And with growing threats from natural disasters, cyberattacks, and infrastructure aging, preparedness isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity.
With Insight and APC, your infrastructure doesn’t just stay on — it stays strong, efficient, and ready for what’s next.
Modern IT environments are increasingly distributed and complex. Whether you’re supporting branch offices, remote employees, or AI workloads at the edge, you need infrastructure that scales without compromise.
Smart-UPS solutions by APC are built for this challenge. With remote monitoring, predictive maintenance alerts, and built-in sustainability features, APC helps reduce the total cost of ownership while increasing operational uptime. For organizations balancing innovation with budget constraints, Smart-UPS delivers maximum value with minimal complexity.
And when it comes to integration, APC’s interoperability with popular hyperconverged and cloud environments means your power protection can evolve alongside your tech stack. Insight brings it all together — from assessment to implementation — with end-to-end support that ensures your power protection strategy meets both current demands and future goals.
From a cybersecurity standpoint, secure remote management capabilities ensure that your UPS infrastructure remains protected from unauthorized access and tampering. With firmware updates, secure protocols, and Insight’s governance expertise, your UPS network can be a secure extension of your IT architecture.
With APC’s modular designs, organizations can also grow incrementally — starting with what they need now and scaling later. For growing agencies, K–12 districts, or rapidly expanding enterprises, that flexibility is essential.
Insight and APC help organizations build a foundation for operational resilience. One that powers innovation, protects uptime, and drives long-term digital transformation.
