Best Configuration
Each system power supply unit plugged into its own UPS/BBU, each of which is powered by separate,
independent circuits. Protection provided for single system power supply unit failure, power outages,
single UPS/BBU failure, and single facility circuitry failure.
UPS VA Recommendations
When deciding on UPS hardware, it is important to choose a solution with the appropriate VA
rating. This rating allows you to calculate the prospective uptime of a server in the event of a power
failure, based on the power draw of the system. For specific advice on choosing a UPS unit, we
recommend that you contact your preferred hardware vendor and provide the power draw
specifications contained in this document.
Heat
The heat output of your SnapStream appliance will vary directly with the number of hard disks that are in
use. The chart below shows approximate heat output by storage capacity.*
