Protect Your Investment - Storm Preparation for NY Metro Area:

A few things to take into consideration with Irene approaching the NY Metro Area:

Each month, the typical business or home experiences several electrical disturbances — from infrequent blackouts to spikes and surge fluctuations. What most people don't realize, however, is that even the slightest electrical blip poses a danger to all programmable appliances, whether the device is a telephone, a printer, MFP, computer, or a high–priced server. And if your computer or telephone no longer works after a power surge, it most likely won't be covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Types of power problems

Even momentary power fluctuations can cause damage to computer components over time. The chips and circuit inside PCs and peripherals are highly sensitive. Unless these components receive clean, steady 120–volt AC current, they won't perform as designed. Small power fluctuations can also corrupt or erase data stored on hard drives.

Here are the most common types of power problems and how they can damage your computer:

  1. Blackouts – Total loss of utility power

    While most blackouts in the United States are relatively brief, storm–related blackouts can last hours or even days.

    Blackouts can harm computers in two ways:
    • The sudden loss of power can crash the system and erase data
    • When power is restored, a momentary surge may result
  2. Brownouts – Decrease in voltage level

    This is the most common power problem. Brownouts often happen when unusually high demands are made on the power grid. They can also occur when large electrical devices are turned on nearby.

    Brownouts can harm computers in several ways:
    • Hardware damage
    • Systems crash
    • Data loss
    • Performance problems
  3. Spikes and Surges – Increase in voltage level

    Spikes, which are often caused by lightning strikes, are brief but extreme. They can literally fry computer components. Surges are less intense than spikes, but tend to last longer.

  4. Surges can harm computers in two ways:
    • Cause incremental damage that gradually degrades system performance
    • Erase or corrupt valuable data

Why do you need a surge protector?

Power spikes can degrade internal circuitry and dramatically shorten the life of electronic devices. For this reason, all important electronics and appliances should be connected to a surge protector.

Most surge protectors resemble power strips, but they actually contain additional circuitry designed to absorb excess electrical energy and prevent it from reaching connected equipment. Some models feature telephone/modem, coaxial and Ethernet jacks, which provide surge protection on those lines as well.

Surge protectors are the best power protection option for equipment that does not require battery backup, including, copier, MFP’s, printers, scanners, fax machines, overhead projectors, TVs, cable boxes and more.

What features are important on a surge protector?

Here are some common questions about surge protector features:

Why is the joule rating important?
A joule is a measurement of energy. The higher the joule rating, the longer your protection will last.

Is it important to protect my telephone line?
Yes! Surges can enter your home or office through telephone lines and end up harming or destroying sensitive electronic devices, including your computer. Using a surge protector with telephone–line protection is the only way to ensure the safety of your telecommunications devices.

Why do I need coaxial cable protection?
Electrical surges can also enter your home or office through coaxial cable lines. A surge protector with coaxial cable protection is the best way to protect your audio/video equipment and cable modems from surges and spikes.

Remember: If you have a computer, MFP, printer, entertainment system or a stereo system, each component must be plugged into a surge protector. If one of these devices isn't plugged in, it can send a surge through every other piece of equipment and cause permanent damage to them.

DOUBLE-SIDED PRINTING TO SAVE NYC $1 MILLION A YEAR

New York, NY, November 9, 2010 – QUIT WASTING PAPER – in an effort to cut costs across city government, Deputy Mayor Stephen Goldsmith recently ordered commissioners to obey a law requiring double-sided printing of documents – which he said could save New York $1 million a year or 15% of their annual paper spend.

Goldsmith was quoted “It will target needless and often hidden costs that, over the course of time, have become an accepted part of business”. Goldsmith has been pushing city agencies to find small savings as well as large ones among them two-sided printing and sharing printers.

“It’s great to see NYC take action on such a great initiative that benefits both the environment and the people of our great city” stated Bill McLaughlin, VP of Managed Services and CTO of Atlantic Tomorrow’s Office, a national leader of document management services and the choice of over 15,000 customers in the greater NYC area. “Two sided printing is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how organizations can eliminate discretionary waste with an effective document management strategy that will free up funds for mission critical projects” McLaughlin added.

Since most companies spend between 1-3% of their annual revenue on documents, McLaughlin strongly urges businesses to leverage technology and best practices that will identify meaningful savings and improve end user productivity.
