UPS Knowledge

In general, a UPS protects IT equipment and other electrical loads from problems that plague our electrical supply. A UPS performs the following three basic functions:

1. It prevents hardware damage typically caused by surges and spikes. Many UPS models continually condition incoming power as well.

2. It prevents data loss and corruption. Without a uninterruptible power supply(UPS), data stored on devices that are subjected to a hard system shutdown may become corrupted or even lost completely. In conjunction with power management software, a UPS can facilitate a graceful system shutdown.

3. It provides availability for networks and other applications while preventing downtime. UPS can also be paired with generators in order to give the generators sufficient time to power up in the event of a power cut.
