The Victoria and Albert Museum has contracted Uninterruptible Power Supplies Ltd to supply, install and maintain a new 120KVA UPS system in its upgraded information and communications centre.

The V&A – the world’s largest museum of decorative arts and design – has been undergoing an ambitious renovation programme since 2001. “The museum may be one of the oldest in the country, but its new IT infrastructure is state-of-the-art,” said Ed Fosbrook, Senior Facilities Manager at the V&A. “It’s vital that all our systems are protected from power failure and disturbance.”

“When awarding the contract we considered not only UPS system performance but also the nature and quality of the installation and maintenance services. We felt that the offer from UPS Ltd was very strong on both counts.”
