Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems – don't lose out to power cuts
Uninterruptible Power Supply, or UPS, systems provide battery backup for when the power goes off. You will probably have had experience with power cuts turning off the computer. This can cause problems for your server PC, as some Eulogica clients have unfortunately experienced. A UPS system can help in this type of situation.
The UPS basically plugs into the mains and the server then plugs into the UPS. If the mains fails the the UPS continues to supply power to the server for a certain period of time. The more expensive the UPS, the longer it will last. If the mains still hasn't come back on and the battery in the UPS is starting to run out, the UPS can tell the server to shutdown as you would do manually, i.e. cleanly rather than just pulling the plug.
There are many makes of UPS system and they can be easily bought from many online suppliers.
