Editorial topic: Experiencing power failure incident
Power Failures in January override any other issue; our main focus for January is therefore dedicated
to this.
By no means was it a single occurrence, here we present a partial list of power failures for a single
day, for instance, the 22nd of January 2009:
To experience an exercised odyssey, and get a feeling of how things can go when power fails, let’s
hear Mr. Jim Nelson, External Affairs Manager of Embarq’s exchange corporation, explaining the
events that led to the loss of telephone service for most of North Lincoln County in Oregon USA:
New items introduced on UPSonNet’s site in January 2009.
Lessons from UPS price Study.
We have performed a study of North American UPS systems Industry prices. The results are
presented on UPS Price list. The price list shows that in certain cases On -Line UPS is cheaper than
same size Line Interactive system. And that in some cases considerable power growth is associated

The Study thus calls for performing a Cost Oriented Evaluation stage, before the spec is forwarded to
the purchasing department. The issue is explained in Our Press Release, called: “Protect Your Data
and Your Budget when Buying a UPS”
A guide, explaining how the price list can be practically put to work to decrease considerably the cost
of UPS systems is presented on the site, titled: “Boost Your ROI using UPS Industry Price list “.
