APC Symmetra LX 8kVA Scalable to 16kVA N+1, Tower 208/240V

Engineered for mission‑critical workloads, the APC Symmetra LX 8kVA scalable UPS delivers unmatched power protection for space‑constrained server rooms, data centers, and voice and data networks. Designed to grow with your needs, this tower UPS combines redundancy, scalable runtime, and a compact footprint to keep essential equipment online when power quality is challenged. With online double‑conversion technology, you get clean, continuous power that guards against outages, brownouts, and voltage fluctuations, ensuring your servers, storage, networking gear, and virtualization workloads stay available, responsive, and protected.

  • Scalability and reliability: The Symmetra LX is built for high availability with N+1 redundancy. Modular, hot‑swappable power modules and battery packs enable you to add capacity and runtime without interrupting protected loads, simplifying maintenance and planning for future growth.
  • Flexible capacity: Base rating of 8 kVA (roughly 6.4 kW) can be expanded to 16 kVA (approximately 12.8 kW) by integrating additional modules. This enables you to tailor protection for evolving data center architectures, virtualization clusters, and dense server deployments.
  • Space‑saving design: The tower form factor is purpose‑built for constrained server rooms, small data closets, and edge deployments. Its compact footprint frees valuable floor space while delivering enterprise‑class uptime, with streamlined cable management to keep deployments neat and scalable.
  • Clean, reliable power: Online, double‑conversion topology continuously conditions power to deliver stable voltage and frequency, protecting IT equipment from outages, spikes, sags, and harmonic distortions. This results in lower failure rates, fewer unplanned outages, and improved application performance.
  • Smart management and monitoring: Integrated controls support local viewing and remote management through USB, serial, and optional network management capabilities. Proactive alerts, detailed event logs, and compatibility with common monitoring tools minimize downtime and simplify administration.
