Leon,
 
It depends on the level of UPS support you require...
1. KW
2. On UPS hrs required
3. do you need an online UPS? some cheaper ones are standby with a VERY quick switch over.
 
APC is a very good UPS manufacturer, and I do know that Indeserve is a supplier here in NZ
 
Emmerson (sp) is also a very big supplier of UPS and Datacentre Cooling
 
email me off line.. I can hook you up with the local agents that I know of

Subject: [nznog] UPS information

Hey Noggers,

We're in a position where we're going to require a UPS at one of our pop's, and being that i've personally never actually had to buy/provision any UPS gear before, i thought i'd put the question out there, what UPS gear have people here in NZ generally found to be pretty good? is the cost of these units going to bite me hard? is there anyone specialized that  should perhaps talk to? (APC comes to mind?)

The loading on it should be pretty minimal, (couple switches, a gateway box, possibly a server).

Would appreciate some feedback :-)
