UPS Power & Grounding Systems
Uninterrupted. Protected. Redundant.
Power outages are real and probable threats to businesses. Studies show that computer networks experience an average of one potentially disastrous power disturbance per day in many parts of the country. The most frequent causes of system-wide failures are problems with commercial power such as brownouts, blackouts, surges, spikes, or sags. It doesn’t take a complete power shutdown to affect critical equipment and business processes. Even subtle disturbances could be causing system and drive crashes, errors and shutdowns during data transmission, server shutdowns and reboots and component failures.
Today’s vastly more mature hardware and blade server configurations have increased the demand for a greater conditioned power supply. When power quality is compromised, so are your mission-critical systems, documents, databases, security, communications and overall business operations. Your enterprise may be more vulnerable than you realize. Studies show that at least 75 percent of all power disturbances occur as a result of other equipment in the building such as elevators, welders and copiers. They create sudden surges that can affect your network, but they don’t have to. Level-(1) professionals design, as a countermeasure, conditioned power solutions to thwart common threats to electrical power such as:
Weather – No one is immune to systems failures caused by lightning or strong winds.
Utilities – Most utilities were designed before computers and high-speed telecommunications and cannot always supply enough power to meet your needs.
Wiring in your building – If your facility is more than 10 years old, the wiring may not be designed to support your network demands.
Your own network –Some problems are generated by your own network equipment. Large networks that are connected to outside modems, routers, and other data lines run an even greater risk of interruptions.
