April Showers Bring Power Problems
While it’s great that the weather is finally warming, that brings with it the spring thundershower – and that reminds us of the power and environment issues we see with computer gear every spring and through the summer.
Electronic gear depends on clean, reliable power and a temperature and humidity controlled environment. Nothing good happens when a computer loses power unexpectedly, or “bakes” in a room that’s too warm.
To protect critical network servers, that might mean a specially air-conditioned room with dedicated power – or it may just mean that your server isn’t sitting in an unventilated closet, plugged directly in to the wall. The requirements for PC’s aren’t as great, but they should be in places where the ventilating fans inside can do their job, plugged into a good surge suppressor, or ideally, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
Ensuring that your IT equipment has quality power is one of the easiest and most cost effective things you can to ensure the health of your computer gear and its data. If you need help evaluating your power and environment conditions, contact us, we’re here to help.
This issue returns to some subjects that never get old, mostly because there are always new variations on the same old tricks. Spam, “ransomware” and even a new source of malware – the utility programs that come with so many computer-connected devices these days, all provide ample warning to be vigilant in an ever more connected world.
Whether it’s help with a power assessment, mail security, problems with malware, or any other IT issue, we’re here to SPRING in to action to help.
