Do you have an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS)? I’m talking about a vital component that will protect and provide you security for your devices. In the USA we plug in to a 110 current. But, in reality this fluctuates anywhere from one or two up to 117-118. This fluctuation can wreak havoc on your electronic devices.

A UPS device serves a two-fold purpose. The first is to minimize the fluctuations by regulating the current, protecting your units from spikes. The second is to protect your network in the event of a power failure. A good UPS will have a battery that will give you a chance to properly shut down your server and network storage units without damaging your hardware.

During the snowmagedon we had here in Austin last winter, one of our biggest clients had their UPS system save their nearly $20,000 worth of network equipment. The main UPS was fried and had to be replaced. But without that, they would have had a huge hit to their entire network system. They were very grateful to have had that buffer between the power supply and the system they rely on for their business.

Our go-to brand for UPS systems for our clients is CyberPower. They have a wide variety of units that can fit most of our client’s needs. From small desktop units to small data centers. We have found they have great value and performance. We also love their warranty and support. They have been very helpful in finding the best solutions for our clients’ needs.
