BladeUPS
®
uninterruptible power system (UPS)
protects your sensitive electronic equipment from the most common
power problems including power failures, power sags, power surges,
brownouts, and line noise.
Power outages can occur when you least expect it and power
quality can be erratic. These power problems have the potential to
corrupt critical data, destroy unsaved work sessions, and damage
hardware — causing hours of lost productivity and expensive repairs.
With the BladeUPS, you can safely eliminate the effects of power
disturbances and guard the integrity of your equipment. The BladeUPS is
designed for critical applications such as ultra high-density blade servers
in a data center environment. Figure 1 shows the BladeUPS with an
optional Extended Battery Module (EBM).
