The Network is the key to your company's survival
Today’s networks extend beyond the confines of one building, which presents several problems for network managers because the greater the reach of any network, the greater the vulnerability to power fluctuations -- such as spikes, surges, brownouts and blackouts.

Protecting the network involves different plans, each based upon the design of the network. For example, in a peer-to-peer environment where any PC could be a server, it is essential to have backup support on each workstation.

Minuteman's product line has the tools you need to protect your entire system.  This includes surge suppressors for small non-critical components, standby EnSpire series and line interactive Entrust, PRO-E, PRO-RT, and EnterprisePlus series UPSs for small to medium sized phone systems, and full on-line Endeavor UPSs for enterprise-wide systems requiring multiple hours of runtime.

The Threats Facing Information Systems

Once your IT and network systems have been installed and the service is turned on, the challenge for network operators is keeping the system running with minimal downtime to costly lost productivity or information.

What makes continuous operation a challenge is the fact that IT and network applications, from an electrical point-of-view, are sitting ducks for a number of reasons:

  • Excess current can enter through almost all items in the subsystem (such as power sources, peripherals, networks, and communications cables).
  • Excess current can destroy vital items in a subsystem (such as silicon items, circuit board traces, and magnetic media).
  • Network subsystems are usually assembled out of components from different manufacturers. As a result, many systems have equipment that handle power and signal grounding in the different ways.
  • Communications cables are vulnerable from outside the building to breakage, crosses, lightning, etc., and those cables lead directly to you.
