How A Tripp Lite UPS Will Help You Sleep At Night

Written by John Ciarlone | Jun 10, 2013 2:30:00 PM

Sometimes it seems like the hardest thing to get these days is a good night's sleep. Anyone who's been in any way involved in maintaining a network knows that, like being a doctor, you're never truly off-duty. If problems occur, you're going to be on call to fix them any time of day or night. If it's a severe enough problem, of course, then no one gets any sleep, including the boss.

And no one likes a tired and cranky boss. That really keeps one up at night.

When you're looking for network solutions, what you're also looking for are solutions for your peace of mind. You've got plenty of invested reason to keep the network up and running at four-nines or more – your beauty sleep!

 

That's why we recommend Tripp Lite UPS Systems(Uninterruptible Power Supplies) to our clients: Better power backup systems mean fewer network outages, and that means fewer 3 AM calls.

How Tripp Lite UPS Systems Keep Your Operations Going

There are a lot of UPS vendors out there, and there's a pretty good chance the systems in your office were picked up years ago. Why Tripp Lite? Because rather than being aimed at the mass-market, their focus is on business users and their needs. The Tripp Lite advantage lies in how they tie together all their products to make for smooth upward transitions as your business continues to grow.

Tripp Lite offers their PowerAlert Network Management System software, which integrates closely with their own products (as well as supporting numerous other brands) and creates an all-in-one package for managing the internal power grid for your network, your entire office, or your network of offices anywhere on Earth.

Once the systems are physically installed, they manage themselves and rarely require intervention. Many models offer handy digital readouts on the case, customizable to offer whatever pieces of information your on-site IT group needs to have available at a glance.

Tripp Lite UPS: The Power System That Feels For You

There are two obvious dangers to your computers and servers that any UPS should shield against: Power surges and power outages. Better brands offer extended batteries for their own units, although few with the range of Tripp Lite UPS battery options. (If you'd like to see how long you could keep your office going, Tripp Lite has a useful tool for that.)

However, Tripp Lite goes further with its Envirosense system, which puts a climate monitor on
 the outside of your UPS. Simply put, your Tripp Lite power supply can tell you if it's too hot or cold. If you have systems where the local weather is a critical factor, such as a server room that would overheat without climate control, Envirosense will ensure that someone is notified the moment the temperature leaves a pre-set range.

Given how quickly heat can damage server electronics or magnetic media storage, that immediate warning is often enough to turn a late-night call into an “oh by the way...” in your inbox in the morning.

Tripp Lite UPS Systems Have The Options To Cover You

Tripp Lite offers more options, even on less obvious concerns. If you do business overseas, you can get systems set up to take C19 or Schuko adaptors, along with the traditional US three-prong NEMA outlets. Larger businesses looking at migrating to three-phase power continue to be supported as well, providing power support for large-scale shops.

They have the power backup systems that will keep your business humming along online for years to come. While no one can predict every disaster that might befall a business, a Tripp Lite uninterruptible power supply means more uninterrupted nights for you!
