Maximize your availability; minimize your total cost of ownership Galaxy™ VS is a highly efficient, modular, simple-to-deploy 10-150 kW (400 V) 3-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that delivers top performance to edge, small, and medium data centers, as well as critical infrastructure in commercial and industrial facilities.

You need best-in-class power protection that is as high-performing and innovative as your business. Galaxy VS maximizes your availability while minimizing your total cost of ownership, with highly efficient patented technologies and modular architecture.

Galaxy VS meets your internal redundancy needs with N+1 power modules to ensure your load remains protected. This multiplies by 10 the system’s availability without extra footprint.

Battery flexibility is one of the main highlights of Galaxy VS. When you choose Galaxy Lithium-ion battery cabinets, you benefit from a longer battery lifetime and higher temperature tolerance than classic battery solutions. When you choose smart battery modules integrated in the UPS cabinet, Galaxy VS offers optimized footprint and ensures critical loads have highly predictable runtimes and battery redundancy.

The Galaxy VS is EcoStruxure™ connected to give you visibility into the health of your UPS and peace of mind by sending realtime status updates directly to your smartphone. With its robust modular design, superior performance, and scalability and Live Swap options, Galaxy VS is the ideal backbone for your critical infrastructure.
