Expanded Connectivity Options

With 6 IEC C19 outlets, this APC 2.2kva UPS accommodates a variety of enterprise equipment, making it ideal for protecting:

  1. Small to medium servers and storage systems
  2. Critical networking infrastructure
  3. Telecommunications equipment
  4. High-performance workstations
  5. Network-attached storage (NAS) devices

The outlets are arranged in two independently controllable groups, enabling prioritized load shedding during extended outages and scheduled equipment maintenance without full shutdown.

Intelligent Battery Management

APC’s advanced battery management system incorporates:

  • Temperature-compensated charging that extends battery life by up to 50%
  • Automatic self-tests that identify batteries needing replacement before failure
  • Smart battery calibration that provides accurate runtime predictions
  • Optimized charging cycles that reduce battery stress during frequent power events

Limitations to Consider

While the APC Easy UPS 2200VA excels in many areas, potential buyers should be aware of certain limitations:

Physical Considerations

The tower configuration, while space-efficient, has a substantial footprint compared to rack-mounted alternatives. With dimensions of approximately 22 × 17 × 43 cm and weighing around 25 kg, proper placement planning is essential, especially in smaller environments.

Initial Investment

The upfront cost of this higher-capacity UPS is greater than entry-level models. However, this investment is justified by the superior protection, longer runtime, and reduced total cost of ownership through extended battery life and protected equipment.

Battery Replacement Complexity

While designed for serviceability, battery replacement requires careful handling due to the unit’s weight and internal components. Organizations without technical staff may need to schedule service appointments for this maintenance task.

Ideal Applications

The APC Easy UPS 2200VA is perfectly suited for:

  • Small to Medium Businesses: Protect servers, networking equipment, and business-critical systems
  • Educational Institutions: Ensure consistent operation of administrative systems and computer labs
  • Healthcare Facilities: Safeguard patient records and essential communication systems
  • Retail Environments: Maintain point-of-sale systems and security infrastructure during power events
  • Remote/Branch Offices: Provide enterprise-grade protection without on-site IT personnel
