UPS, UPS SYSTEMS

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is an electrical apparatus that provides emergency power to a load when the input power source – typically mains power – fails. A UPS has its own rechargeable battery which provides immediate emergency power for your system when the main supply has been cut and thus preventing data loss. 

In the event of a sustained power failure, the UPS is able to provide sufficient battery power for files to be saved and for the whole system to be shut down in an orderly manner.  In the case of an alternative power source being available -such as a generator – the battery will provide sufficient power to keep your system running until the secondary supply is brought online. UPS’s also filter the power supply entering your computer system, thereby limiting the detrimental effect of spikes.

Typically a UPS is used to protect computers, data centres, telecommunication equipment or other electrical equipment where an unexpected power disruption could cause data loss, disruption of productivity, injuries and fatalities. UPS units range in size from those designed to protect a single computer to large units powering entire data centers, buildings or even cities.
As a business you need to sustain critical operations that simply can’t afford to be down as downtime can cost a company a lot of money in wasted time.
