Why do you need Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS?)
An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) helps ensure that businesses have protection for critical applications. A UPS provides protection for these critical systems in the event of a power disruption, whether it’s a prolonged outage or just a blip that can nonetheless damage sensitive machines such as computers and cash registers. The UPS provides backup power that can keep critical equipment up and running during relatively short outages and allow you to safely power them down in the event of a longer outage. UPSs are a critical component of any business continuity plan.
UPS Benefits
- Network Availability: Ability to ride out all disruptions rather than shutdown
- Hardware Protection: Avoid loss or corruption caused by power issues
- Data Protection: Prevent damage caused by EMI/RFI interference, and other power issues
- Energy Efficiency: Lower operating costs and a smaller carbon footprint
- Avoid High Cost of Downtime: Downtime can cost thousands of pounds per hour

They’re available in ‘tower’ or ‘floor’ styles, and together with a variety of standard features, they are the perfect choice to protect your data and keep you connected.
