Usually when one thinks of UPS, they’re thinking about sending or receiving mail. However, a different kind of UPS, an uninterruptable power source, can provide you with as much of a benefit as the postal service.
Consider this scenario: you’ve been working for days on a important project that a client of yours has set a deadline for. Unexpectedly, the power in your building goes out, and since most Windows auto-save features stop working when the power is shut off, you lose everything you have been working on. Not a nice picture to paint. Additionally, your file could still be there upon rebooting the computer, but it could be so severely corrupted that you would no longer be able to edit or save it. Of course, there is the off-chance that you get extremely lucky and the file does not delete or become corrupt, but at the expense of losing everything you were working on, is it really worth it?
With the average business experiencing 15 power outages a year, the odds are severely stacked against you. Protect yourself by purchasing a UPS device for your company’s network servers. A UPS device will keep your servers powered on long enough for you to save any type of work that you may be working on. To be sure you are 100% protected, be sure to purchase a UPS device for each workstation in your building as well. If there is a power outage, your tired eyes and fingers will thank you they don’t have to start all over!
