Liebert (by Vertiv) is a global leader in power protection, known for engineering some of the most reliable Online Double Conversion systems in the world. While brands like Blue Gate or Mercury are popular for home use, Liebert UPS systems are designed for mission-critical environments in Nigeria—such as server rooms, medical labs, and high-end industrial workstations.
At Kara Nigeria, Liebert units are favored for their ability to provide clean, zero-interruption power, even when the input voltage is highly unstable.
Unlike standard backup units, Liebert UPS systems often use True Online Double Conversion technology. This means the computer system UPS is always running off the battery and regenerating a perfect sine wave. There is zero transfer time when power fails, which is vital for sensitive servers that might crash during the millisecond switch-over of a cheaper unit.
If you are looking for the best ups for computer system protection, these two models represent the best of Liebert's "Plug-and-Play" professional range:
The GXT5 is an enterprise-grade Online UPS in a compact tower/rack design. It features a high power factor (1.0), meaning it provides more actual power (Watts) for your equipment than standard 1kVA units. It is the gold standard for protecting a single high-end server or a critical medical imaging station.
For the home professional, the itON series offers Liebert-quality protection at a much lower UPS price. It is a Line-Interactive unit with a built-in Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR), making it perfect for protecting a desktop PC or a sophisticated gaming rig from Lagos' frequent brownouts.
