WHY PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT POWER PROTECTION IS ESSENTIAL
Power spikes and surges can destroy your IT investment instantly. Modems, fax machines, laser printers, monitors and other peripheral pieces of your workstation are all susceptible and all require protection from the common power fluctuations that can damage electrical equipment.

WHY DESKTOP SYSTEM POWER PROTECTION IS ESSENTIAL
PCs from quality manufacturers are not made of precious Milton china. Vendors such as Dell and IBM build in tolerance for the continuous onslaught of power anomalies your PC is likely to face. In most cases, you may not even be aware of the frequency with which power problems hit your computer because of the protection already built in. However, the IT equipment does need protection against out-of-bounds power events with quality surge protection and reliable battery backup power. The designer may have accounted for the normal range of problems, but high-level power spikes or low-level power slumps are beyond the responsibility of the designer. Here the responsibility for protection rests with the equipment owner.
When a workstation is connected to the network the importance of data protection extends past the desktop. In network environments, any data corrupted locally on a workstation could be written back over the unaffected data on the file server, causing lost data and unknown expense to the company.

WHY SERVER POWER PROTECTION IS ESSENTIAL
The most dangerous seconds in a file server's life occur when it is writing to disk. A power problem, be it a spike or a brownout, at this time can be catastrophic. If a power problem occurs while your server is saving, you could lose an entire hard disk. Servers used to write to disk, are at increased risk of data loss or hard disk damage due to a power problem.

WHY TELECOMS POWER PROTECTION IS ESSENTIAL
Each segment of your telecoms network is susceptible to power problems. These range from lightning strikes to complete blackouts or power failures. To ensure total protection of a telecoms network it should be protected from customer service PC's to PBX and Key System Applications. A power failure at an unprotected telecoms network location could mean the disconnection of hundreds of phone calls and hundreds of dissatisfied customers.
