Don't Let Your Computer Get Caught Unprotected

We had that terrible Wind Storm Last Night. Some of The GTA's  electricity was knocked out suddenly. Did your computer survive it? Proven Solutions recommends a Battery back-up. 
This provides an uninterrupted power supply (UPS), to your computer and other electrical devises plugged into it ..such as your monitor.

Here are two examples of them 



When the power goes out, a battery back up will protect the computer from shutting down suddenly. You might lose your data or your programs and  operating system might get corrupted if this occurs.

Most battery backup devices also ensure that the electricity flowing to your computer and other accessories is free from any electrical surges at anytime.This is important as it can prevent damage from happening as discussed above.

Allan had a call from a client that had an electrical surge in their factory and he had to spend many hours resetting their server because they had not thought it was important to have a battery back-Up. They not only had to pay Proven Solutions for the time spent, but Production had to stop while the repair was done. Now they realize that the money invested into a proper UPS system is much more cost effective.

It is not always easy to know what type of UPS your computer and network may need. There is special software to install too.
You can go and check this site which is way too technical and complex for me or you can contact Proven Solutions Toronto Computer Services (phone: 416-227-2290) to help you out.
