An uninterruptable power supply, or “UPS,” provides power to businesses in times of power downtime. For example, a power cut during business hours can cause damage to IT hardware, but with a UPS, this is unlikely because the power stays on for long enough for staff to properly save and shut down.
Why upgrade your UPS?
There are a few reasons why upgrading your UPS is part of the best practice for keeping your IT infrastructure healthy:
-
Business growth: The growing size of your business might require an upgraded UPS to deal with the capacity needed to manage extra devices.
-
Beneficial technological advancements: Improvements in energy efficiency and power consumption can impact ownership and operating costs. Advancements like remote access and monitoring of your UPS can also save time and mean that you can operate the UPS from wherever you are and deal with problems remotely.
-
Protection improvements: voltage regulation, noise filtering, fluctuations, and disturbances. For example, voltage regulation is important to maintain so that your electricity isn’t interrupted and unreliable, which can cause damage to devices and products.
-
Battery lifetime: The battery lifetime of a UPS is a key feature of a reliable UPS. A longer battery lifetime means cutting the cost of ownership and replacement in the long term.
-
Warranty and Support: Increased warranty time and support from the manufacturer mean you can prolong the health and lifetime of your UPS.
So, if some of these reasons apply to you and your business, why not look at upgrading?
To help you in your search, we’ve compiled a chart of comparisons between the Eaton 9SX and the Eaton 9PX to demonstrate how upgrading to the next UPS can benefit your business.
Upgrading to the Eaton 9PX UPS
Conclusion:
Overall, upgrading to the 9PX would benefit your business due to its increased power rating. This can impact how many devices can be supported within a company and would be good for a growing business. With a higher power rating and more devices, energy efficiency also improves.
The Eaton 9PX also offers single and split phases. This has to do with how the wires distribute and deliver power across a business or application. Having the choice between a single or split phase means that your UPS can adapt to your business needs.
The Eaton 9XP UPS also offers the option between rackmount or tower UPS’s, allowing you to choose a UPS that perfectly fits into your business. Rackmounts can be easily stacked alongside other equipment. Towers can also be stacked, and these are standalone UPS’s, which is also good for easy installation as they stand free.
Overall, keeping up the health of your UPS is important to maintain the functioning of your business.
