NIC Partners +
Schneider Electric / APC
A power and energy management solution built on Schneider Electric and APC's platform, designed, installed, and supported by NIC Partners.
NIC Partners + Schneider Electric / APC
A camera or an alert system is only reliable if the power behind it is.
NIC Partners' power and energy management solution puts Schneider Electric and APC's infrastructure to work as the layer that keeps a district's cameras, servers, and alert systems running through outages, brownouts, and the everyday power conditions that damage equipment over time. Schneider Electric and APC build the hardware. NIC Partners works with a district to decide how backup power and energy management get designed across every building, connects it to the safety systems that can't afford to go dark, and stays on as the team responsible for it once it's live.
What the Schneider Electric / APC platform covers
Uninterruptible power supply.
APC Smart-UPS battery backup keeps servers, cameras, and network equipment running through an outage, not just long enough to shut down safely.
Power distribution.
PDUs manage and distribute clean power within server racks and IT closets, so equipment isn't sharing an overloaded circuit.
Surge protection.
Equipment is protected from power spikes and lightning strikes that damage hardware outright.
Remote power monitoring.
EcoStruxure IT gives a district visibility into battery health and power conditions across every building from one dashboard.
Environmental monitoring.
NetBotz sensors track temperature and humidity in server rooms, so equipment failure from heat is caught before it happens.
What NIC Partners adds to the Schneider Electric / APC platform
01
Backup power sized for the actual safety load.
NIC Partners sizes UPS capacity for the cameras, network switches, and alerting systems that have to stay up, not just general office IT.
02
Runtime long enough to matter.
NIC Partners plans battery runtime around how long a district's safety systems actually need to stay online during an outage, not a generic default.
03
Monitored before it fails, not after.
NIC Partners manages the EcoStruxure IT dashboard district-wide, so a failing battery is replaced on a schedule, not discovered during an actual outage.
04
Tied to the rest of a district's safety stack.
NIC Partners connects backup power to the same cameras, network, and alerting systems it's protecting, so the whole stack goes down together or not at all.
05
Support that doesn't end at installation.
NIC Partners' account teams stay on as a district's first line of support after installation, working alongside Schneider Electric and APC's own engineers when something needs deeper expertise.
Safer schools. Stronger communities.
