No Power—No Problem

A Big Win for the Home Team, I am happy to report that not one of our customers equipped with a UPS's (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) has reported any loss of data or long-term problems with their computer systems as result of the recent power outages.  Not only are blackouts a problem, but brownouts can cause even bigger problems.  Brownouts are characterized by intermittent surging power that makes the light fade in and out.  Even without ice and snow, most of us in this area experience dirty power from time to time.  Dirty power can have the same kind of impact on sensitive electrical equipment as brownouts.  Protect your data and your information system with a low cost UPS from Ward Conciliation LLC.

Top Reasons for Using a UPS on Your Computers and Server.

• Maintains power during short outages, easily up to 30 minutes.
• Has built in surge protection to protect from Spikes in power such as when the power company turns power on and off, electrical storms
• Has true built in surge protection for internet connections (DSL, Cable and phone). Phone lines are 14 times more likely to be struck by lightning than power lines. Many “surge protectors” are nothing more than “power strips”, all UPS have true protection.
• They have automatic shutdown software. When you cannot turn off your computer, software can automatically save your open files and properly shut down you computer.
• Automatic shutdown prevents corruption in the Windows file system helping prevent the dreaded “Blue Screen of Death” and other Windows “issues”.
