UPS System Solutions

It’s crucial to plan for even the worst circumstances. In order to keep all digital and electrical devices safe, many turn to a UPS battery backup to ensure the safety of the products that keep many businesses, hypercomputing hubs, and factories running. A UPS, also known as an uninterrupted power supply, is a failsafe for computers and systems when the power from their primary source cuts out. This critical backup power source for computing networks also serves as a power surge protector, allowing machines and mechanisms to continue running in the event of a disaster. Hospitals, network centers, and even traditional offices utilize UPS technologies for keeping things running when power problems are out of their hands.

When shopping around for a UPS, there are two primary routes to follow that depend on whether or not you are shopping for a server UPS system or a desktop UPS system. Server UPS systems require more protection for data centers and server rooms, whereas desktop UPS systems are more for small offices like a medical group.

The three key areas of importance in a UPS all affect the price and output of a specific UPS device. First of all, the power and reliability of the battery backups vary in size and capability depending on the system it is setup to protect. Also, the sort of electromagnetic line noise and surge protection shields included can determine the effectiveness of a UPS. Finally, voltage regulation can vary from one UPS system to another. This key area of a UPS determines how long the battery on the UPS can run, and in the event of a disastrous situation occurring at a critical data hub or network system, that battery runtime can often mean the difference between a slight bump in the road or a complete wreck.

Depending on each individual IT manager’s needs, UPS solutions vary in cost, power, and protection. Before shopping for a UPS, determining power and backup runtime needs can help narrow down the field of possible purchases. Additionally, take note of voltage and receptacle requirements, which will ensure that every aspect of a server or system is protected no matter what. Sharing with your vendor where the UPS system will be installed, as well as the power it will need to keep things running, ensures that the UPS can do its job correctly. With the peace of mind provided by a UPS system, IT solution teams can swiftly confirm operations have not been interrupted, rather than wondering when critical power will return.
