What is a general-purpose Vertiv UPS?

The general-purpose tier covers Vertiv Liebert UPS that doesn't sit at the data-centre extreme — not three-phase APM2 / EXM / NXC. The middle: workstation-to-small-server, retail back-of-house, branch-office IT, edge compute. Covers most Canadian SMB Vertiv purchases.

UPSPLUSBATTERY.CA stocks the general-purpose Liebert range with matching Liebert Vertiv replacement batteries. For topology-specific browsing see Vertiv line-interactive UPS and Vertiv online UPS. Full Vertiv catalog at Vertiv UPS.
