Protecting your Server's Power is Crucial

In order for File Servers to attain a high disk access speed, they must save file activity to Cache memory. Cache is RAM-resident storage which is written to the hard disk by the operating system in the background. If a power problem occurs while your server is saving, you could lose an entire hard disk. Users who thought they saved files before the blackout hit may find out that their work may not have ever made it to permanent Hard Disk storage before the power failure occurred.

The File Server's RAM must be protected at all times! The single most important investment a company can make beyond the file server itself is top quality file server protection in the form of a UPS (Uninteruptible Power Supply).

Have your Network Administrator look for a quality UPS with the following features and performance characteristics:

1. Surge Protection
2. At least 5 minutes runtime at full load
3. Intelligent Auto-Shutdown software
4. Line Noise Filtering
5. Site-wiring fault testing
6. User Replaceable batteries
