As power supplies worldwide become more unstable due to the energy crisis – and with renewable solutions not yet providing the consistency that businesses require – uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) are fast becoming an essential for customers.
While the hype is that everything now resides in the cloud, the reality is that most businesses rely on data centres in one form or another. And to keep mission-critical apps and business systems running when power supplies fail, UPS is a must.
There are two key roles that UPS fulfils to ensure network power protection. First, it provides an instantaneous, break-free power supply in the event that mains power fails for whatever reason. Second, it protects equipment from surges and drops of voltage, as well as power shifts.
For your customers, investing in UPS means investing in business continuity. So whether they operate in an industrial setting or commercial premises – catering to a few customers or many thousands – they know power supply issues won’t be an issue for them. Operations go on as normal. Staff continue to be productive. And customers don’t notice a thing.
