In addition, there’s a whole separate
category of high-end UPS battery backup products, with hours of
runtime, optimized for corporate data centers.
A UPS battery backup unit goes one crucial
step beyond the protection afforded by a surge protector.
A UPS protects your data from improper
termination by providing several minutes of battery backup power --
allowing you to save your work, close open files and shut Microsoft
Windows gracefully before power is lost.
Thus, a UPS protects your data files, operating
system files, software application files and all the related
configuration settings.
Because the feature set and run-time capacity
of UPS battery backup units vary considerably among models,
you’ll need to use vendor-supplied sizing tools before making
your purchase selection.
These sizing tools will help you pick
UPS battery backup units capable of handling your unique
combinations of operating systems, software applications, computer
system units, monitors and related peripherals.
