Compared to a few decades ago, Digital Services are now an indispensable part of daily life in our modern society. Public Administration, Health, Finance, Telecommunications, Commerce, Industry, Entertainment and many other sectors are heavily dependent on and empowered by digital services, devices and infrastructures.

Data Center down time means digital services down time, the consequence of which is a major interruption to our daily activities, problems for both individuals and organisations, huge financial losses and, potentially, compromised safety scenarios.
For this reason, in modern Data Centers, dedicated infrastructure is implemented in order to guarantee the continuity of the operation and to provide highly resilient systems. A UPS is one of the essential components in such a critical infrastructure.

- Business Continuity
- Limited Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
- Adaptability
