In this security conscious age that we live in, webcams, motion detectors and badge scanners have become increasingly common elements in most businesses and public facilities. It doesn’t matter if you’re checking ID cards, observing activity in a lobby or community space, or monitoring a building during off-hours for suspicious activity; most mission critical security applications rely on the sort of constant vigilance that can only be supplied by a monitoring device, ID scanner or electronic sensor.

A Reliable Power Redundancy Solution for Single Inlet Security Devices
Thursday, March 8th, 2012The Power Transfer Switch – Avoid Waste While Adding Power Fallback Capabilities
Friday, December 2nd, 2011In tight economic times, it makes sense to do one’s best to always get the most benefit out of things that you’ve already paid for. It doesn’t matter if you’re talking about a tube of toothpaste or single power-inlet network equipment; a wise budget manager will always try to squeeze every last bit of usable resources out of anything that they paid good money for. But while squeezing every usable drop of toothpaste out of the tube might be relatively easy, it’s not nearly as easy to to get additional use out of single-power-inlet network equipment if you need to implement a power redundancy solution … or is it?
A Power Transfer Switch Saves Time and Money for Power Redundacy Applications
Monday, October 24th, 2011In a modern business environment, most office workers and managers depend on the company network in order to get their jobs done. In fact, when the network is down, often there’s not a lot that we can actually accomplish without it. That’s why most network managers are continually pressed to work to minimize network downtime and ensure that vital network capabilities are always available when needed. There are many things that can be done to improve network up-time, but one of the first stems that many network engineers take, is to implement power redundancy strategy that relies on the power fallback capabilities provided by a power transfer switch.
The Power Transfer Switch – An Easy, Economical Way to Implement Power Fallback Capabilities
Tuesday, September 20th, 2011Often, network administrators are left with two choices when adding power redundancy and power fallback capabilities to an existing network equipment application; the expensive way and the easy way. The expensive way requires replacing every single existing single-power-inlet network device in the rack with a new dual-power-inlet device, and the easy way only requires the installation of an inexpensive, easy-to-operate power transfer switch in order to provide power fallback and redundancy capabilities to existing single-power-inlet devices.
Adding Power Fallback and Redundancy without the Expense of New Dual Inlet Devices
Friday, August 26th, 2011In most modern business operations, the network is the vital part of the corporate infrastructure; when the network is down, the pace of business often slows to a crawl, communication stops and many important resources are simply unavailable. With this in mind, one of the main goals of most network administrators is to ensure network reliability; this means that network administrators will generally do everything in their power to ensure that the network is up, running and available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The Power Transfer Switch – Economical Power Fallback and Redundancy for Single Power Inlet Devices
Friday, August 5th, 2011One of the most critical requirements for a modern corporate network is reliability; the network needs to be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week in order to support the needs of users and customers and to ensure constant communication within the corporation and with the outside world. One of the most important factors in ensuring network reliability, is an effective power redundancy solution, that allows network equipment to automatically switch over to a back-up power supply in the event that the main power supply fails.
A Cost Effective Tool for Adding Power Redundancy to Single Inlet Devices
Monday, July 4th, 2011The task of adding power redundancy and power fallback capabilities to existing network equipment racks can be an extremely expensive proposition. The cost of replacing existing, single-power-inlet network elements with brand new dual-power-inlet devices can often run into the tens of thousands of dollars … and that’s just a conservative estimate. But it doesn’t necessarily have to be that way; a power transfer switch provides an economical power redundancy solution that allows you to provide the convenience and reliability of power fallback and redundancy switching to existing network elements, without the cost of replacement.
The Power Transfer Switch – An Economical Alternative for Power Redundancy and Fallback
Monday, June 27th, 2011If you’re responsible for managing vital network elements located at remote equipment racks, then you’ve probably already had to deal with problems caused by unstable power supplies. When power goes out at a remote equipment rack, it often stays out until support personnel can travel to the remote site and deal with the problem in person. Power outages are much less of a problem if your network application already includes network elements with built in power fallback and power redundancy features, but what if your equipment rack also includes older, single-inlet devices that don’t offer the ability to fallback to a secondary power supply?
