UPS type backup solution for PowerEdge 2950 series

I'm looking to power a new rack, right now we have 3 servers powered off of a SmartUPS 700 rackmount. We have pretty beefy servers on there now 2 of them are Dell PowerEdge 2950's with 2 quad core processors in each and the other one PowerEdge 1850 is just has 2 dual core 3ghz. It can't handle the power right now and according to Dell each server is taking around 2.3amps or around 450-500w each. We are planning on adding two more of the 2950's in the future so I'm wondering what you would suggest that is rack-mountable that could support the power load of all 5 of these servers?

I would recommend going here:

http://www.apc.com/tools/ups_selector/index.cfm

You can add all the devices that you have and then it will tell you which UPS will be able to handle the load. Click on 'Configure by Devices' under 'Servers, Telecom., Storage Arrays'.
