Importance of Uninterruptible Power Supplies for IT Systems in Business

World companies have been depending upon electricity as a major resource. Systems and communication are entirely dependent on the electric supply. A safe and protected power system is essential for smooth and uninterrupted workflow. And uninterruptible power supply system will ensure immediate backup option and will prevent loss of data, information and other important functions. Vulnerable instruments which may stop function9ng due to sudden change in power supply may be protected to a great extent.

 Need of a continuous power supply

Recent studies show that three quarters of a company in the IT department has undergone a complete loss in power supply over the past year. Hence, the power quality seems to degrade in quality in the nearby future. There is a need to keep a check on the quality of the USP installed so that it can give maximum benefits during times of emergencies. The batteries must be able to take loads of the requirement and must provide maximum benefit during power cuts. 

Risks and Threat

Voltage excursions are the most common risk factor that may occur. Spikes, sags, or surgeries which are defined as a sudden increase or decrease in power may occur. The time lag may vary depending upon the intensity and other factors.  Electrical noise is also a form of risk that can occur. External factors like thundering and lightening are responsible for this phenomenon. These lead to the damage of computers and sometime permanent disruption of the hard disk. 

Overall Cost

Installation of a safe UPS system involves an investment. The total cost, including the hidden cost during and after installation must be carefully examined to maintain in the overall financial balance of the company.

Technology is growing and with it there is a hike in the demand of electricity, Proper backup systems have become more important to prevent financial losses. Careful strategy and systematic maintenance of a USP system will prevent power cut related havocs and return smooth output in working systems.
