Why do you need an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)?
An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) helps ensure that businesses have power protection for critical applications. A UPS protects 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 helps provide backup power that can keep critical equipment up and running during relatively short outages. It allows you to safely power them down in the event of a longer outage and is a critical component of any business continuity plan.
