Take a quick look around your desk and you'll see all the equipment you've got plugged into a single power bar or wall outlet. Stop and think for a moment what surge or peak in power would do to this unprotected equipment?Constant fluctuations in the power supply coming into your home or office can cause your equipment to shut down or freeze and exhibit signs of damage over time, meaning loss of data as well as downtime for your equipment and potentially your business!
As a small business owner the importance of protecting your equipment as well as your data should already be obvious, but are you doing everything you can?
Installing an Automatic Voltage Regulating Battery Backup unit in your office environment can increase the life of your equipment by as much as 33% while dramatically reducing your risk of data lost, equipment failure and even hardware related slow downs. An investment of less than $100 can help protect your equipment, Read on to find out why a simple surge protector is often not enough!Why do I need a surge protector?
Even small power spikes can degrade internal circuitry and dramatically shorten the life of electronic devices. For this reason, all important electronics and appliances should be connected to a quality surge protector.
Battery Backups / UPS: When a Surge Protector Isn't Enough
Computers connected to a surge protector will be somewhat protected against a jolt of electricity if there's a nearby lightning strike. But when the power goes out — even for a second — it can result in lost data and potentially a damaged hard drive.
Protecting important files and data against permanent loss due to insufficient power requires a UPS battery backup device. A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) device provides both surge protection and emergency backup power. The backup power gives a computer user time (from ten minutes to an hour, depending on the device) to save critical files and properly shut down the computer until power is restored.
What is AVR?
Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) technology provides clean electricity by increasing low voltage or decreasing high voltage — keeping it within a safe range of 110–120 volts.
