The Four Classes of Power Solutions
Overview
Since computers have been in existence, there's been a need to protect them. Today, when computers are migrating at record speed from the protected data center out into a distributed work environment, the need is more critical than ever. Power protection used to be as simple as placing all sensitive equipment inside a "glass house" which was connected to a single power protection source. Contemporary power protection strategies must deal with much more. First and foremost there is the increasingly wide range of system configurations. Servers, workstations, routers, hubs, bridges, and other sensitive components must all be taken into consideration.
Second, computer networks have become the productivity tool for many enterprises. As these systems become more and more integral to doing business, even the most minor power glitch can translate into a severe loss of productivity -- from absorbing a half day of an employee's, or even an entire department’s, time to re-enter data to sustaining a costly production loss because a power glitch erased the machine control's part program and the machine produced scrap rather than sellable product. In some cases, as in a computerized ordering processing applications, a power problem can completely shut down operations altogether.
