Protecting what must never stop.
WHAT IS AT STAKE
Equipment damage, data loss and interrupted service.
WHAT TO PROVIDE
An uninterruptible supply, sized for the equipment Clean, stable power Adequate cooling Monitoring
WHY AN UNINTERRUPTIBLE SUPPLY SPECIFICALLY
It bridges the gap before a generator starts, which is where damage occurs.
WHAT IT MUST DO
Carry the load long enough for an orderly shutdown, at minimum.
HOW LONG THAT IS
Enough to complete shutdown safely, plus margin.
WHAT TO CONFIGURE
Automatic shutdown when the supply runs low.
WHY
An abrupt loss mid-write corrupts data.
WHAT TO TEST
That shutdown actually happens, and that systems restart cleanly.
HOW OFTEN
Periodically, and after any change.
WHY TEST RESTART SPECIFICALLY
Systems that shut down safely but fail to start are a common surprise.
WHAT COOLING REQUIRES
Attention during outages.
WHY
Equipment continues producing heat while air conditioning is off.
WHAT THAT CAUSES
Overheating within a surprisingly short time.
WHAT TO PLAN
Either cooling on backup power, or shutdown before temperature becomes critical.
WHAT TO MONITOR
Temperature, with an alert.
WHAT TO KEEP SEPARATE
The server room circuit from general premises circuits.
WHY
It allows protection and monitoring of what matters.
