Good / cheap UPS with networking

[Matt Lund]

Could anyone recommend something < $300 used or new in a 1U form factor, and with network functionality that can signal loss of power? If there's something that can hook into esxi that'd be ideal but I'll learn more about that.

2U is a lot more common for UPS than 1U, but APC or Eaton (Vertiv too, but rare at that price on eBay) would be my picks. Plenty available in that price range.

Example: EATON 5P750R 5P 750WA RACKMOUNT 1U LCD 120V USED 743172043047 | eBay

Network card for that would be another ~$45.

Do you have an idea of what load/time you're looking for?

Thanks for the recommendation that looks perfect and 2u works.

In regards to calculation I’ll run that when I’m back home. Probably 125 to 175 watts for 10 minutes
