The problem with power
Computer users fall into two groups:
those who have lost data due to power
problems and those who will. According
to an IBM study, your system is subject to
an average of 128 power disturbances per
month, ranging from surges and spikes,
which can cause hardware damage, to
sags, brownouts and complete blackouts,
which can cause data loss. The more you
use your computer, the more you stand to
lose. Power problems wreak havoc on
today's multi-tasking networked or stand-
alone computers.
As the single largest cause of data loss
(45.3%), power problems are responsible
for keyboard lockups, data loss, hardware
degradation, damaged motherboards, and
more, making downtime inevitable.
Protect your valuable data
with an APC Back-UPS
When a power event occurs, your APC
UPS unit instantly switches your computer
to emergency battery backup power,
allowing you to work through brief power
outages without data loss or downtime. In
the event of an extended power failure
APC UPS units give you time to save files
and shut down your computer safely .
High-performance surge suppression pro-
tects your computer from electrical noise,
damaging power surges and lightning.
These precious minutes of availability
ensure that your data and mission-critical
business applications remain intact.
"That UPS did more than I
thought it would ever have to do,
or I would ever ask it to do . . ."
Power problems are the
largest cause of data loss.
