APC by Schneider Electric Galaxy VS 120kVA Modular UPS

The APC Galaxy VS 120kVA Modular UPS delivers best-in-class protection for edge deployments, small to mid-size data centers, and critical infrastructure across commercial and industrial sectors. With 120kW of reliable, scalable power at 480V 3-phase and a modular architecture designed for rapid deployment, Galaxy VS helps you minimize downtime, optimize energy use, and lower total cost of ownership. The system comes with a 5x8 start-up service to ensure swift commissioning and a smooth handover to your operations team.

• Modular, scalable architecture — Galaxy VS is built with hot-swappable power modules that let you grow capacity and redundancy as workloads evolve. Start with the baseline UPS and add modules later to meet rising demand, avoiding overprovisioning and minimizing upfront capital expenditure.
• High-efficiency, reliable power protection — Designed to deliver clean, uninterrupted 480V 3-phase power, the Galaxy VS mitigates power disturbances, voltage sags, and outages. Its efficient power path minimizes energy loss, reducing operating costs and heat load while maintaining top-tier protection for connected IT and industrial equipment.
• Fast deployment and seamless integration — The compact, modular form factor supports flexible installation in edge facilities and data centers. Its compatible interface with common monitoring and management platforms enables straightforward integration into existing infrastructure and data-center orchestration workflows.
• Redundancy and serviceability that boost uptime — With modular redundancy options and hot-swappable components, Galaxy VS keeps critical workloads online even during maintenance. The 5x8 start-up service included helps accelerate commissioning and ensures proper configuration from day one.
• Lifecycle-focused support — Beyond initial startup, Schneider Electric’s global service network provides ongoing maintenance, diagnostics, and upgrades. Remote monitoring, proactive health checks, and scheduled servicing contribute to a lower total cost of ownership over the system’s life.
