Too much power can corrupt absolutely!!

Too much power can corrupt absolutely!!

Lightening storms can have a serious impact on unprotected electronic equipment, and a power cut at the wrong time can corrupt an entire system. We have seen this after the storms this weekend.

We would recommend that for home or office PC’s, you consider investing in an anti-surge points or extension bars, and a UPS (battery backup) for your critical workstations and server.

If your server is not protected by a battery backup, then we advise you consider doing so. Please speak to us to calculate the size of unit to suit your needs.

For workstations, we would recommend the following depending on your needs

Surge Protection for normal workstations and routers, switches, etc

Belkin SurgeMaster. Available at PC World for £14.99+VAT

Battery backup for important PC’s or those than should not be turned off

APC Back UPS. Available from PC World Business at £68.99+VAT
