Cisco RP Series Power Distribution Units vs. Tripp Lite SmartPro

We use it in our many communication closets at our various locations and it does the job it needs to do by providing power during an outage and keeping devices online. It is also great as it sends email alerts on power failure and power resumption that get sent directly to our helpdesk system to track outages for reporting purposes.

We also used APC in the past, but in our last refresh moved to Tripp Lite SmartPro. Performance-wise, APC did the job the same as the Tripp Lite SmartPro, but we had issues with APC local vendors and APC support, in general, so we decided to switch to another brand, which ended up with us using Tripp Lite SmartPro.

Incentivized

• The positive impact as we were able to identify when a power outage was the reason for remote sites going offline without having to physically check devices.
• Having a UPS meant we were able to keep the servers and switches operational as well as end-users avoiding downtime.
