UPS Systems for Small Business
Keep essential small-business technology protected when utility power becomes unstable or fails.
A business UPS can provide battery backup for computers, network equipment, communications systems, point-of-sale devices and other electronics that a small business relies on every day.
Why small businesses use UPS systems
- Reduce disruption from brief power outages.
- Help protect computers and networking equipment from unexpected shutdowns.
- Maintain connectivity for routers, switches and communications hardware during short interruptions.
- Provide time for a controlled shutdown when an outage lasts longer than the available battery runtime.
What should a small business protect?
Start with equipment that directly affects operations: network infrastructure, workstations, servers, POS equipment, communications devices, security hardware and other systems that should not lose power unexpectedly.
How to size a small-business UPS
Calculate the total connected wattage, then choose a UPS whose supported watt capacity provides reasonable operating headroom. Decide how much runtime you need and verify topology, voltage, outlets and installation format. VA alone is not enough to determine the correct UPS.
Which UPS topology should you choose?
Line-interactive UPS systems are often practical for office workstations and network equipment. Online double-conversion systems continuously condition power and can be appropriate for sensitive servers and other critical IT infrastructure.
