application of Pulsar EX20 and
EX30:
Network servers and interconnection
devices are very sensitive to electrical
disturbances of all types, including outages,
voltage sags, brownouts, spikes, etc. The
origins of the disturbances also vary,
ranging from atmospheric phenomena, to
nearby devices generating interference such
as elevators, photocopy machines and
machine tools, not to mention human errors,
like the accidental pulling out of power cords
or tripping of circuit breakers. The
consequences of these disturbances on
computer systems range from data losses to
hardware damage (power supplies, hard
disks).
Pulsar EX20 and EX30 are specially
designed to protect network servers and all
other interconnection devices that are
sensitive to electrical disturbances.
Pulsar EX20 and EX30 add fault-tolerance
to the utility supplying your sensitive
