APC, or American Power Conversion, is the main supplier of power-related products to the IT industry. With power being a critical factor in the proper functioning of computers and support equipment, corporations worldwide rely upon APC. The company prides itself on the quality and reliability of its products.
American Power Conversion is famed for its UPS, or uninterruptible power supply devices. Nearly every organization with mission-critical computer equipment uses (or should use) one of these devices. A UPS provides backup battery power during an electricity failure, which protects valuable hardware and the information stored on it.
The History of APC
American Power Conversion was founded in 1981 and introduced its first UPS in 1984. At that time, most people could not have fathomed the omnipresence of computers today. Since then, APC has grown into a billion-dollar global business that services home, home office, and business users.
In addition to its UPS, the company provides other power-related supplies such as power distribution units (PDUs), DC systems, and surge protectors. APC also offers cooling systems and rack furniture for data centers. Over the past 20 years, APC has become a respected source for a wide variety of IT solutions.
