Vertiv expands power portfolio with new compact desktop UPS for personal computing, gaming and networking devices

May 06, 2026

The Vertiv™ PowerUPS 100 Standby Series helps protect essential devices and keep connected home, office and small business equipment operating during unexpected power disruptions

COLUMBUS, Ohio [May 5, 2026] – Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, today introduced the Vertiv™ PowerUPS 100 Standby Series, a new generation of compact uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems designed to help maintain continuity in distributed digital environments, and reduce the impact of unexpected power interruptions on everyday digital activity. In North America, the 120V series is available with lithium-ion and VRLA models across a range of capacities to support desktop and small office applications.

Part of Vertiv’s end-to-end portfolio supporting critical infrastructure from the data center to the edge and desktop, the Vertiv PowerUPS 100 Standby Series delivers dependable battery backup and surge protection in a sleek, space-saving design for personal computers, gaming consoles, smart home devices, wireless networks, retail point-of-sale equipment and AI PCs. 

"For many small businesses, retail sites and connected workspaces, a short power interruption can disrupt transactions, disconnect networks or put data at risk,” said Ramesh Menon, vice president of IT systems solutions at Vertiv. “The Vertiv PowerUPS 100 Standby Series is designed to make dependable power protection easier to deploy where space, budget and simplicity matter — from desktops and workstations to point-of-sale systems and essential network devices.” 

The UPS includes up to eight outlets with a combination of battery backup and surge protection, allowing users to safeguard multiple critical devices simultaneously. Integrated USB-A and USB-C ports provide convenient charging for mobile devices, while the compact, wall-mountable design enables flexible placement in space-constrained environments. 

The series also prioritizes long-term usability and system management. User-replaceable batteries help extend product lifespan and reduce maintenance costs, while compatibility with Vertiv™ Power Assist software enables automated, graceful shutdown of connected systems during extended outages to help protect against data loss and equipment damage. 

Featuring four VRLA models ranging from 500VA / 305W to 1100VA / 670W, as well as two lithium-ion in 350VA / 210W and 400VA / 240W, the Vertiv™ PowerUPS 100 Standby Series offers capacity options for a range of applications. The series is also certified to Energy Star 2.0 requirements, Department of Energy (DOE) efficiency standards, and FCC Part 15 Class B regulations. 

Models are available with a connected equipment protection plan and are backed by a three-year warranty for Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) configurations and a five-year warranty for lithium-ion models, providing reliable power protection for critical electronics.
