YOUR I.T. GUY WANTS YOU TO KNOW...A POWER OUTAGE CAN RUIN YOUR DAY AND YOUR ELECTRONICS

​It’s that time of year; tornadoes and power outages, hot weather and brown outs, and the flickering power surges that cause electrical spikes.
​
Anything that causes your electronics to improperly shut down or run at less than full power, can ruin your servers, desktops and printers. Putting a surge protector in place helps only to avoid damaging spikes.  Installing a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) will allow your electronics to stay running on a battery, but only for a brief time, allowing you to properly power them off until the electricity comes back on. (That is assuming you are present at the time the electricity goes out).  A Smart UPS is your best option. It connects via USB to your server or desktop, and when the power goes out it sends a signal to the device and gracefully shuts it down before the battery power dies.  Several brands even have easy and convenient remote accessibility.  Need help installing or selecting a UPS?
