Power cuts might have been commonplace and a frequent occurrence in the 1970’s but our electrical supply has now become increasingly vulnerable as our demand for technology continues to grow at such an unprecedented rate.  We all take power for granted but very few businesses include power provisions in any sort of crisis management plan. So when the lights go down what systems can we put in place to ensure against data loss? 

If your business is an area which frequently experiences outages or even surges in power then it’s about time you invested in an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).  A UPS contains a surge suppressor and a large battery which features special circuitry that detects a power failure and then quickly switches over to run your vital equipment on its own battery.  While it’s not designed to run your device for hours and hours it is designed to let you use your computer for a short amount of time (i.e 5-10 minutes) to give you sufficient time to save work, make essential data backups and do a showdown.

All businesses, whether small or large can protect themselves with a UPS.  There are a range of units which come in all shapes, sizes and budgets to suit every need.   The benefits will give your business the upper hand, providing you with continuous working with no downtime, to maintain your business efficiency.  A UPS will also give your employees time to backup essential information and protect sensitive equipment from damage. And if you compare the cost of a UPS to the time and cost of recreating lost data it clearly makes financial sense.

Sudden changes in electrical voltage can wreak havoc to your IT system. Protecting yourself with a UPS can help smooth out these power fluctuations.  According to UK National Statistics, over 90% of businesses will experience power disruption of some kind.  Isn’t it about time you stopped taking your power supply for granted and invested in a Dale Power UPS?
