POWER PROTECTION FOR YOUR PC

WARNING! Is your business / residential computer protected in the event of a brownout or blackout? How important is your information?
Chances are, if you are a standard computer user, you have plugged your PC into a surge protection bar and have left it at that. Unfortunately that is not enough. A recent study by IBM has showed that a typical computer is subject to more than 120 power problems per month. The effects of power problems range from the subtle-keyboard lockups, hardware degradation-to the dramatic-complete data loss or burnt motherboards. According to a survey by the Yankee Group, almost half of the corporations researched put their downtime costs at upwards of $1,000 per hour, with nine percent estimating costs up to or more than $50,000 per hour.

Installation of a certified UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) unit instantly switches your computer to emergency battery backup power and allows you to work through brief power outages and safely shut down your system in the event of an extended outage. High-performance UPS surge suppression protects your computer from electrical noise and damaging power surges - even lightning. Typical installation takes no more than an hour.
