Time is money.
This mantra truly hits home when we our businesses are hit when a mains supply drops. We know that so many of our customers have thankfully invested in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units, providing emergency back-up power, which negates any outages. Of course UPS’s come into their own if you encounter any hardware crashes. We all understand just how disastrous any setback such as these can be causing loss of data as our PC or server die on us however a UPS that kicks straight away can literally mean that there is no loss of capital and time is well spent!
For those of you reading this not currently investing in any form of uninterruptible power supplies this maybe a good time to let us introduce you to some of the market leaders currently stocked at Comms Express.
