UPSonNet Helps Users to Find UPS Vendors that Meet Latest Computer Protection Requirements
UPSonNet launches Professional North American Suppliers Guide, enabling UPS users to find
vendors able to offer UPS protection that meet latest computer requirements. The necessity of
Professional escort during UPS procurement is based on UPSonNet market study, indicating that
almost 100% of standby systems, 70% of Line Interactive types, and certain online systems, may
malfunction and drop the load when required to work with new computer or server loads. The
study also indicates that online sellers lack knowhow to guide the user, and that published
information may be insufficient to ascertain proper pertinence of the UPS and the specific
protected load. PRlog – 24, February , 2011.
