Schneider Electric & IT distributors provide UPS “as a Service”

Schneider Electric announced support for IT distribution partners combining APC Smart-UPS solutions with monitoring/dispatch services to create their own “as a service” offer for their customers. This offer will enable IT solution providers to deliver better visibility and proactive maintenance across their customers’ dispersed UPS systems, lower that customer’s operational costs, and increase their own recurring revenue streams, per Schneider. This UPS as a Service offer provides a way to support back-up power needs, especially at the edge for network connectivity, compute, or storage, with predictable lower costs and relief for IT staff.
