UPS went down, it could have been a worse disaster

Some of you are aware that this happened to us today, a total power loss. It was not a monsoon but a sudden power loss to more than 10 servers. That can be very damaging. One of our UPS units batteries shorted and killed the power.  If it was a MONSOON we would have been protected.
To our customers that have servers in the cloud with iDEAL, Hosted Exchange email and websites here we apologize for this short term outage. We were able to recover most of the servers. Some had to be restored from back up because the Operating System corrupted at the sudden loss of power.
Are your computers, routers and phone systems protected?

 

A quality power surge protect may be sufficient but an Uniterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is still best because if configured correctly it will not only protect from power surges but also automatically shut down your computer upon a power loss.  That means the risk of losing data or corrupting your computer operating system is nearly zero!

UPS’s are fairly inexpensive as compared to replacing equipment. Contact us for a free estimate to protect your systems today. If you already ready have protection when is the last time you tested it?
