UPS
(un-interruptible power supply) is a device that sits between an
A/C outlet or power source and an electronic device (such as a computer,
server, or phone equipment) to prevent power disturbances (outages,
sags, surges, spikes, noise, etc.) from affecting the performance
and life of the electronic device and vital data. |
| A UPS contains
batteries that provide backup power to your system in the event
of a power outage to give you the time to safely save all open files
and gracefully shutdown the system or even continue to work until
normal power has been restored. Additionally, most UPSs regulate
the power that comes from the original supply (i.e. the wall outlet).
These functions offer several advantages |
 |
|
|
Business
operations don't stop because the power fails. |
|
|
Equipment
isn't damaged due to the stress of another hard start-up cycle.
|
|
|
Valuable
data isn't lost due to a user forgetting to save the file or if
data had not been flushed from cache. |
|
|
The UPS
eliminates sags, surges, spikes, noise, and other electrical interference
that can damage equipment and data or interrupt operations. |
|
|
The UPS
provides a "clean" source of power , eliminating noise that can
cause interruptions in operations or data loss. |
