What is a Value Score?

The Value Score indexes each vendor’s product offering and business strength relative to their price point. It does not indicate vendor ranking.

Vendors that score high offer more bang for the buck (e.g. features, usability, stability, etc.) than the average vendor, while the inverse is true for those that score lower.

Price-conscious enterprises may wish to give the Value Score more consideration than those who are more focused on specific vendor/product attributes.

Weight: You can adjust the weight to what is more important to you.

Progress Bars:
When both vendor and product weightings are equal to exactly 100%, your custom shortlist will be generated.

Your Challenge

The decision regarding standby power for the data center is important as the UPS protects the critical environment from disturbances and failures.
IT often rushes into a UPS purchase decision with little or no requirements gathering, or an understanding of the UPS market.
By rushing into a UPS decision, IT may not right-size the UPS solution according to requirements, or can choose a vendor or product that is unable to support the critical environment. Enterprises must carefully determine which UPS vendor is the right fit for the data center infrastructure without overpaying for features and additional power capacity that is not required.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

The market for UPS solutions is currently dominated by a few viable big players; however, each of these large vendors owns multiple brands, most of which standalone as their own entity.
UPS solutions have many table stakes; when the table stakes are all you need, enterprises should differentiate on price and vendor stability.
Although a highly commoditized market, certain vendors offer advanced features that should still be evaluated to either ensure that the solution is the right fit for the current and future critical environment requirements, or to avoid paying for unneeded features.

Impact and Result

This vendor landscape focuses on vendors that provide Double Online Conversion UPSs that are modular/scalable from a minimum of 200KW-900KW and up, to support future growth for mid-sized enterprises.
