Network Power Protection

From Black Box Network Services
 

 

Your company, like many others, has a sizable investment in computer networks: hardware, software, and customer-related information. You also have a significant investment in the people and processes that support the mission-critical applications you depend on daily to run your business. But one electrical anomaly-one good zap to your network-can sideline this entire segment of your company's operation. Computer networks are electrical systems. Network devices rely on steady, even power- as Goldilocks would say, "not too much, not too little, but just right." Power fluctuations can wreak havoc with a network. In a worst-case scenario, power or surge-related problems affecting servers, routers, or switches can bring your business to a halt. And with the growing demand for interconnected computer, telephone, and LAN systems, many new pathways for power, surge, and transient problems are created every day. That's why your computer network requires complete protection on all AC power and datacomm lines. Assess your own situation.
