NIST Requirements Document Brand Name Only Tripp Lite Uninterrupted Power Supplies

I. Introduction/Background:

The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) in the Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) at NIST is a collaborative hub where industry organizations, government agencies, and academic institutions work together to address businesses’ most pressing cybersecurity challenges. The NCCoE develops modular, easily adaptable example cybersecurity solutions demonstrating how to apply standards and best practices using commercially available technology.

Specifically, the UPS items described below are necessary to use in the NCCoE laboratories where existing equipment relies on current UPS items manufactured by Tripp Lite. Use of the Tripp Lite brand models ensure consistent interchangeability where one component can be swapped out and replaced with existing deployed equipment to minimize operational impact in the event of a power supply failure.
