As an authorised reseller and integrator for APC/Schneider Electric, Riello, Eaton, Vertiv, SDMO, and Uniflair, the company delivers turnkey solutions spanning single-rack edge deployments through full data centre builds, complemented by nationwide preventative maintenance and 24/7 emergency support across the UK.

Product overview

Source UPS is an independent IT infrastructure specialist offering a comprehensive portfolio of power protection, data centre infrastructure, and associated services. The core offering centers on Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) across multiple form factors: Small Single Phase UPS for edge deployments, Rack Mount UPS for server room consolidation, Three Phase UPS for industrial and large facility applications, and Modular UPS for scalable, redundant power protection. These UPS systems are complemented by Central Battery Systems and UPS Maintenance Bypass Switches for extended runtime and safe servicing. Beyond power, the portfolio includes Network & Server Racks, Rack Power Distribution (PDU) units for intelligent power management, and Data Centre Cooling solutions (including Uniflair precision cooling systems) for maintaining optimal operating temperatures. Monitoring and management capabilities are provided through Netbotz Environmental Monitoring (sensors for temperature, humidity, leak detection, smoke, and access control) and EcoStruxure IT DCIM Software for centralized infrastructure management. Fire Suppression Systems complete the physical infrastructure offering. Services include Data Centre Design, Edge Computing Solutions, and comprehensive maintenance services for UPS, cooling, generators, and fire suppression systems. The company operates exclusively through manufacturer partnerships (APC/Schneider Electric, Riello, Eaton, Vertiv, SDMO, Uniflair) and does not manufacture its own products.

Broad incumbents

• Riello UPS: Italian UPS manufacturer with UK presence; Source UPS is one of its highest-accredited UK distributors. Like Eaton and Vertiv, Riello operates a hybrid model selling both direct and through channel partners like Source UPS.
• Vertiv: Global critical digital infrastructure manufacturer (formerly Emerson/Liebert) offering UPS, thermal management, and monitoring. Source UPS is a top-tier accredited partner but also competes against Vertiv's direct sales.
• Schneider Electric (APC): Global market leader in data centre infrastructure and the manufacturer behind APC. Source UPS's EcoExpert Master status comes from Schneider, and Schneider's direct enterprise sales force is both a partner and a competitive threat.
• Eaton: Global UPS and power management manufacturer for which Source UPS holds highest accreditation. Operates a direct enterprise sales channel that competes with the Source UPS reseller business.
