About Advanced Networks:

Our company's goal is to perform service (repair, sell & refurbish) on all brands of uninterruptible power systems supplying electrical power to data centers.  Advanced Networks is an organization with a focus on quality processes, a high degree of technical competence, and impeccable ethical conduct.  We work with most key vendors of static UPS, rotary UPS, engine generators, batteries, power distribution units, HVAC systems and related equipment.  Our job goes well beyond just servicing equipment.  Our job ranges from managing information concerning schedules, billing, and other administrative jobs. Basically, we assume complete responsibility for those customers' power equipment.

What is a UPS and how it works:

A UPS is an Uninterruptible Power Supply is a device that sits between a power supply (e.g. a wall outlet) and a device (e.g. a computer) to prevent undesired features of the power source (outages, sags, surges, bad harmonics, etc.) from the supply from adversely affecting the performance of the device. A UPS has internal batteries to guarantee that continuous power is provided to the equipment even if the power supply stops providing power. Of course the UPS can provide power for a while, typically a few minutes, but that is often enough to ride out power company glitches or short outages. 

Advantages:

	Computer jobs don't stop because the power fails.
	Users not inconvenienced by computer shutting down.
	Equipment does not incur the stress of another (hard) power cycle.
	Data isn't lost because a machine shut down without doing a "sync" or equivalent to flush cached or real time data.

What a UPS does:

A UPS traditionally can perform the following functions:

	Absorb relatively small power surges.
	Smooth out noisy power sources.
	Continue to provide power to equipment during line sags.
	Provide power for some time after a blackout has occurred.

Also, some UPS or UPS/software combinations provide the following functions:

	Automatic shutdown of equipment during long power outages.
	Monitoring and logging of the status of the power supply.
	Display the Voltage/Current draw of the equipment.
	Restart equipment after a long power outage. Display the voltage currently on the line.
	Provide alarms on certain error conditions. Provide short circuit protection.

UPS Management is important:

Power management has always been important. But in this Internet era of 24x7x365 operations and shrinking time windows for recovery from power failures, ensuring that your UPS and related equipment are in proper working order has never been more critical. Advanced Networks approaches this  job with experienced technicians, well-thought-out processes, and the goal for doing each job right.

Downtime, not a good thing:

According to one estimate, power failures cost companies in the U.S. alone more than $26 billion a year. In a recent survey, half of U.S. companies figured their downtime costs due to power problems at more than $1,000 per hour. For many larger companies that figure rises dramatically.
