Technology partner · APC
APC UPS and server room power
APC UPS systems, PDUs, racks and monitoring, installed by a contractor with its own electrical license.
The short answer
WCC is an APC by Schneider Electric partner that sells and installs APC UPS systems, PDUs, racks and environmental monitoring across Southern California. Because WCC also holds a C-10 electrical license, we handle the electrical work for UPS and server room power ourselves instead of bringing in another contractor.

Why it matters
Why power is where server rooms fail
Most outages in small server rooms and network closets trace back to power and heat: an aging UPS battery, an overloaded circuit, or a closet that overheats on a weekend. We size the UPS for the real load and runtime you need, put every rack on monitored PDUs, add temperature and water sensors that alert someone, and set a battery replacement schedule. See server room design.
Network closets
UPS for every IDF
A network is only as reliable as its weakest closet. If the IDF switches feeding your phones, cameras and access control lose power, those systems go down too. A right-sized UPS and remote monitoring in each closet keep doors, cameras and Wi-Fi running through short outages and let you shut down cleanly during long ones.
