Best-in-Class Power Protection

January 22, 2025 by CyberPower

Technology is a growing trend in schools, and more and more classrooms are equipped with electronics and internet connectivity to enhance learning. IT professionals in the education sector know the importance of protecting their applications with reliable power to ensure continued learning, access to internet, administrative functions, and security operations. It’s not just loss of power – surges and spikes can damage valuable equipment and disrupt learning.

It starts with a power protection plan featuring battery backup and surge protection featuring Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems to:

  • Ensure uninterrupted power and internet connectivity to teaching devices, computer workstations, and security cameras during power events
  • Protect devices from harmful power surges
  • Act as insurance policy for connected equipment

Tech to Protect

Instructors and students now have multiple technologies at their fingertips to enhance learning. A typical school might include:

  • Computer workstations, charging stations, notebooks, and tablets
  • Digital projectors, whiteboards, smart screens, and displays
  • Scanners, printers, cameras, and A/V equipment
  • Servers, switches, and networking equipment
  • Security monitors, alarms and cameras

Making the Grade
As an example of CyberPower’s power protection solutions in practice, a public school district in the Midwest needed help with power protection planning and equipment for a new school building. The district needed to ensure continuous power protection for students during the school year and administrative staff year-round. The district had a limited budget and tight timeline as the power protection solution had to be operational by the time school started in the Fall.

CyberPower quickly conducted a power assessment to determine the power consumption and backup runtime requirements and recommended the ideal UPS systems and power distribution units to meet the school’s power protection needs. Then, CyberPower coordinated with local electrical engineers and building planners to make sure the equipment would have sufficient power to support the network hardware and power protection equipment.

Because the UPS systems were simple to configure, the installation had no delays or obstacles. Furthermore, they said that CyberPower delivered on time, met their technical and budget requirements, and offered better warranty terms than any other provider.
