Surge Protection for Networks We take for granted the vast amount of information we can call up at the click of a mouse, but all too often we are also taking it for granted that the information will still be there next time we click that mouse. Ask yourself could your business survive without it's network infrastructure or worst still without the data stored on it due to a surge or lightning strike? That's where network surge protection comes in. Computer systems with their fragile microelectronics are particularly susceptible to damage from surges. The small but frequent surges caused by nearby equipment being switched on and off, or a dirty mains supply will over time erode sensitive PC components causing them to fail. At best this means replacing the PC at worst it means trying to replace the mission critical information that was lost when 'that' backup hard drive failed. If the small surges from a dirty mains supply don't damage your business, a lightning strike to your building or even near it most certainly will. A direct or indirect lightning strike can send a 10,000 amp current through your network cabling destroying everything that's connected. Network surge protection is essential if your business relies on IT services for its minute to minute operation. Make sure your network is protected from surges or lightning strikes. |
