RE: MGE UPS Systems

[Erik Amundson <Erik.Amundson () oati net>]

We asked our local APC rep that exact question last week.  He told us that the MGE line of UPSes fill a whole that APC 
doesn't have in their own lineup, and they will continue being sold as the product for folks absolutely require a 
typical double-conversion online UPS.  As opposed to the 'hybrid' model of the Symmetra...

It didn't sound to me like they were planning on getting rid of the MGE line at this point.

I'm curious if anyone might know what the future of the MGE line of UPS
systems are. My concern is that they're dead-end since being merged into
APC, and APC wanting to sell me APC stuff. The problem I face is that my
facility was designed with separate equipment spaces, which is great for
normal electrical gear that can be backed against a wall, but not so
great for a product which is designed for the "everything goes in with
your racks" mindset. Any insight would be appreciated.
