Protect your tech hardware and data when power interruptions strike with an uninterruptible power supply from Eaton.

What's a UPS and what does it do?

An uninterruptible power supply, often simply called a UPS, is a device which acts as a back-up power source for when unexpected power-off events occur. They work by storing power and monitoring power flow to your devices. When the UPS detects an interruption it will instantly send out the stored power, allowing time for a controlled shut down to be performed. This helps to guard against data loss and hardware damage at critical moments.
