Data Centers
Data centres demand the strictest UPS coverage in the catalogue — full continuous online double-conversion, redundant feed paths from parallel UPS strings, and short transfer times via static transfer switches when sources fail. The Standby Systems data-centres taxonomy page surfaces a deep stack: rack-mount line-interactive Vision Rack for low-criticality 1U gear, online double-conversion Sentinel Pro / Sentinel Rack for individual mission-critical racks, and the higher-power Sentinel Dual SDU, Sentinel Tower and Sentryum classes for whole-row or whole-row+ deployments.
Notably the Multi-Switch ATS surfaces here as well — the static transfer switch is the canonical pairing for two parallel UPS strings feeding A/B inputs into a dual-cord rack. Three-phase Master MPS / HP / HE units are not directly listed on the data-centres page (though they appear on the medical taxonomy with overlapping applicability).

What to size for
- Per-rack load (blade gear: 5–20+ kW; storage: 2–5 kW; networking: 1–2 kW)
- Concurrent failure tolerance — A and B feeds both able to take 100% load
- Battery runtime usually short (5–10 minutes) sized to bridge to generator
- High-density racks: tower-format UPS at row-level rather than per-rack
- STS at rack input where dual-cord servers cannot self-arbitrate input failure
Recommended products
- Vision Rack — line-interactive 800/1100 VA for low-criticality 1U gear
- Sentinel Pro — online double-conversion 700–3000 VA for individual mission-critical loads
- Sentinel Rack — rack-mount sibling of Sentinel Pro at 1.5 / 3 kVA
- Sentinel Dual SDU — 4–10 kVA rack/tower for departmental or row-level coverage
- Sentinel Tower — 5–10 kVA tower variant
- Sentryum — 10–20 kVA with 3:1 / 3:3 configurations for higher-density rows
- Multi-Switch ATS — A/B feed selection at the rack
