Take a look around your office and count the machines. Even in a small office, there is bound to be more than one. A printer, a fax, scanner, even your computer and phones and the lines they come in on. All of these items are not only machines you or your company spent good money on, they are likely the lifeblood of your business. They are the means to get your job done. Think about getting through a day without one (or more) of them.
Maybe all of your crucial files are on an external hard drive. Are you making sure that your equipment and your data is covered against loss or damage?
Without a surge suppressor, all it takes is one lightning strike or a power surge to wipe out one of your machines, and with it your investment and more important, your data.
What's more, running all these machines consumes a lot of energy, and that is reflected on your monthly bill.
You know you should make sure you are protecting your data with a surge suppressor, but are they all created equal? Do they all offer energy savings as well as data protection?
No, you are best protected in all these areas by plugging your machines and data and phone lines into an uninterruptible power source (UPS). These systems not only protect your data from power surges and allow you to make an orderly shutdown in the event of power loss, they are energy efficient, so they will save you money on electricity as well. A good UPS will help you protect not only your computers and office machines, but also your modem, dsl line and phone lines as well.
Don't put it off any longer, you work much too hard to not to protect your investment and your business.
