APC stood out amidst competition in third quarter

LEADING end-to-end infrastructure availability solution provider, American Power Conversion (APC), has announced its broad-based recognition across key products and applications in the third quarter of this year, saying it stood out amidst competition.

Vice President, Marketing and Communications at APC, Mr. Aaron L. Davis, said that the company's products for home electronics to desktop PCs to servers and enterprise applications stood out from the competition on factors such as innovation, efficiency, and reliability.

"APC's global offerings provide power protection and availability solutions for applications ranging from home electronics to the largest of enterprise computing needs,” he said.

Champion Infotel recalls that APC in addition to awards for InfraStruXure, cooling, Smart-UPS, Back-UPS, Audio Visual and several mobile accessory offerings, was listed for the sixth consecutive year, by CMP Media LLC's InformationWeek 500, a prestigious listing of most innovative users of information technology in the United States.

Mr. Davis also said, the fact that APC has continued to win such a long list of distinguished awards across markets and applications was indicative of its industry-leading investment, anchored on understanding customer needs and developing products that deliver superior solution.

“While we make great strides in new categories such as data centers, cooling, Audio/Visual and biometric security, we are gratified that our core uninterruptible power supply (UPS) solutions remain tops in the industry," he affirmed

Users and reviewers of APC's server and data center class products, Mr. Davis said, continued to recognize the firm, mostly in the Disaster Prevention and Recovery (DPR) segment of the annual Windows IT Pro "Readers' Choice" awards, which placed APC first and second in the Best UPS category.

He noted that Windows IT Pro readers voted overwhelmingly for APC's InfraStruXure product for Best UPS in the DPR category and went on to describe APC's revolutionary architecture as "not merely a traditional UPS InfraStruXure but an 'on-demand architecture' for ensuring networking availability…” just as APC's Smart-UPS tied on second place in this year's voting, giving the firm a strong one-two performance.
Internationally, UpGrade magazine in Portugal, he disclosed, named InfraStruXure an "Outstanding Product," while in Russia, APC's innovative new InfraStruXure with Integrated Fuel Cells was "Product of the Month" in the July issue of PC Magazine.
