You can choose from a variety of power protection devices to shield critical data and equipment from power
problems.
The most sophisticated of these devices are Uninterruptible Power System (UPS). There are three types of UPS: Standby
or Off-line, Line-interactive and On-line. To choose the UPS that is right for you, first determine the level of power
protection that you need. Then match those needs to the appropriate UPS.
