[AusNOG] Who makes good UPS gear besides APC?

[Tim Sheahan]

Good evening folks,

I'm looking for some insight as to who's making good UPS gear besides 
APC these days. I've checked the Sepember thread and still have some 
questions.

We've been buying APC for a long time and had an extremely disappointing 
run.

Two rackmount UPSes, dead before their time. All the desktop units we 
bought, dead.

All of them failed to power-off, even when AC was available.

This makes us want to look further afield, and the question in mind is - 
what else is good - who's had good experiences with longevity?

I've heard it said a UPS is not forever, and that's fine, however - 
should we really have to put up with high rates of all-out failure 
rather than degraded battery performance?

I'm looking for units in the 1.3kw to 2kw class, rack mount and desktop.
