APCSuperior IT infrastructure
Reliable power solutions for data accessibility and security
Why it matters
APC by Schneider Electric has led the market in reliable power infrastructure for nearly four decades, providing mission-critical UPS systems, cooling and infrastructure monitoring that protect servers and data centres from operational disruption. Continuous availability is essential – when power fails even briefly, operations cease.
SCC partners with APC to deliver integrated power protection across UK organisations. Our teams understand the complexity of enterprise-scale deployments across diverse environments and combine APC’s hardware expertise with our deployment, configuration and lifecycle management capabilities. This partnership ensures your infrastructure stays protected and operationally resilient throughout its lifecycle.
FAQs
How does SCC help with APC UPS selection and sizing?
Sizing UPS systems correctly is critical and often misunderstood. SCC conducts full load audits of your IT environment, calculates peak and sustained power draw, and recommends APC solutions that match your actual needs. We avoid over-specifying (which wastes capital) and under-specifying (which risks downtime). We also factor in future growth, redundancy requirements, and integration with your existing infrastructure.
What happens after deployment?
SCC manages ongoing support through monitoring, preventive maintenance, and battery replacement programmes. We track system health, flag potential issues before they become problems, and coordinate maintenance windows that fit your operational schedule. Your UPS and power infrastructure stay resilient without requiring your internal team to manage vendor relationships.
How does APC power protection fit into broader resilience planning?
Power is one layer of resilience. SCC positions APC solutions alongside your backup strategy, network redundancy, and disaster recovery planning. We design integrated approaches where power, network and application layers work together, creating genuinely resilient infrastructure rather than isolated point solutions.
What are the cost implications of working with SCC for APC solutions?
SCC procurement typically delivers better total cost of ownership than direct vendor relationships through bulk relationships, streamlined deployment (which reduces onsite labour costs), and integrated lifecycle management (which extends equipment life). We can model specific scenarios for your environment and show the financial case alongside resilience benefits.
Infrastructure resilience starts with power protection you can count on.
SCC has the APC expertise and deployment experience to make that happen at scale. Whether you’re managing power across one location or many, we simplify the complexity and ensure your critical systems stay protected.
