UPS

Every business computer system should have an uninterruptible power supply to prevent surges, sags, and power outages from getting to the computer hardware. A 1/2 second power outage can easily wipe out all unsaved data on a computer. Buying and using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is the best way to avoid the problems that power outages cause. An UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) provides a conditioned and reliable source of power to your electronic equipment when the main power source fails. The better units protect against surges and spikes (filtering) in the power source, as well as provide (for a limited period of time) a continuing source of battery power. It is usually worth spending more for filtering, since you are getting the benefit power protection all of the time, not just when your power fails.
