What is a good UPS (battery backup) that has at least 5 outlets and network email notification?

Hello all,
    What is a good UPS (battery backup) that has at least 5 outlets and network email notification? Does not have to be huge, just for 5 pieces of network equipment in a rack in our factory. Something like 1500va, but it needs to be able to email out, as there is no PC in that rack. If anyone can recommend anything, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Hi
Check this

It should back all your email infrastructure, 1500VA single  UPS is too small for that.
Obligatory Disclaimer: I did testing for both Eaton and HPE on their UPS units in exchange for keeping them.

HPE's UPS offerings are rebranded Eaton Units.

I've used the Eaton 5P with it's built-in NIC option. The hardware itself is rock solid and it has three remote-switchable banks of nine total outlets. Monitoring is either through their software or by direct SNMP polling, and it can notify by SNMP trap sending, alarm, and email. It's really just a nice little unit for the price. And it also can add battery packs if you need them.

If 1500kva is enough, the above one should work for you. We have been using it for more than a decade and replaced batteries twice to keep it working.

We were hoping to keep it under $200, are there no UPS units that have network / email capability in that range? This will just be running a voip POE switch, a wireless access point, 2 other 16 port switches, and a fiber transceiver. No servers or anything big. It currently has a unit that is much smaller than 1500va and works just fine but no one ever notifies us if something happens with the power in that area, so the network notification is the main necessity. Their excuse is "the phones were not working, so we could not call you!". Of course, they can't just get up and walk over to the other side of the building to tell me...

Unfortunately our building has pretty crap and weird wiring which causes things to goof up sometimes, so we just need something basic that can somehow inform us if it is on battery so that I can let the facility manager know. I will have to check with my CFO to see if we can swing something in that $500 range, but I seriously doubt it as we just had to lay off 25% of staff, they are not wanting to spend any more than necessary, If that price range is what it takes, then I will just have to try and convince them, or look for some other sort of notification options. Might be cheaper to keep what we have, get an off lease PC and script it to notify when the USB communication kicks in, lol.
network / email capability is not standalone to work.

For APC UPS, it will make use of its powerchute software to send emails to designaged email address in case of power outrage of the UPS.
The cheaper ones seem not to be able to. We have an APC X 3000VA and an Eaton in the server room which can do it on their own (with addon network card). I am not sure why it would be so hard to have the capability. I wonder if I can do some sort of raspberry pi setup (if they have the software for linux) that can act as the email server and be plugged in via USB to the UPS.
