IT director, David Mewett, is responsible for ensuring CGE&Y s network remains continuously available at all times and the data stored on it is safe from power disruptions.One of his key tasks has been to review the existing capability and functionality, as well as to update or replace inadequate legacy systems.This review included a focus on UPS technology.

Following a recommendation from an industry colleague that APC s power protection equipment is both reliable and manageable, Mr. Mewett contacted APC.The best solution for this situation was to install two centrally managed Silcon three-phase UPS systems.

A price comparison revealed we were getting significant value for money compared to other products on the market, said Mr. Mewett.
...
Now we have the best UPS system in place in both cities, which answers our demand for high network availability, said Mr. Mewett.

To manage CGE&Y s new UPS systems remotely, Mr. Mewett also uses APC s Network Management Cards.

No data or hardware gets lost or damaged and I get a good night s sleep, said Mr. Mewett.

For David Mewett, the future looks to be worry-free in the area of effective power management.Both APC s Silcon and the Network Management Card have given him the ability to keep a very close eye on his network, even when both eyes are shut.
