APC / Schneider Galaxy VM three-phase UPS

Is the APC Galaxy VM discontinued? What replaces it?

Schneider Electric lists the Galaxy VM range as discontinued. On its Canadian site the 180 kVA single model (GVMSB180KGS) shows a discontinuation date of January 31, 2023, and the 160 kVA parallel model (GVMPB160KG65S) points to a Galaxy VX 500 kVA as its replacement. See the APC Galaxy VX page.
