With modern business voice and data convergence, the business telephone system,
with its multitude of IP servers channeling both voice and data through the same
lines, looks more and more like a data centre. The growth of this technology however,
has created an increased dependence on it. Consequently, controlled shutdowns are
no longer acceptable. Businesses rely on, and expect power system availability for
continuity of service – always. If the power stops, so does the business. Longer
reserve power run times are necessary for converged data networks with IP telephony
as well as system/data processing requirements which are commonly 24/7. On top of
this, there are expectations of steadily rising energy costs and, continued growth
in already significant business IT energy demand. This means there is a real need
for finding new ways to make backup power systems operate with a high level of efficiency.
New generation UPS and DC power systems can offer all of this.
