Because a power outage can occur when you least expect it — threatening the loss of critical data — it’s important to protect your network with a full-featured UPS such as the ACE Series Rack-Mount. Network administrators often spend countless hours trying to troubleshoot problems that, in many cases, would never have occurred had a UPS protected their network. -
