The education sector depends on consistent power availability as much as the commercial sector, and perhaps even a little more. After all, schools today rely on power protection to ensure that their networks remain running so that emergency response systems are readily available and security systems are reliable.

Power protection in education is essential as educational institutions – whether elementary schools or university campuses – are just as likely to experience spikes, surges, brownouts and blackouts as the business around the corner. And, given that any of these things can occur at any time, power protection must be present in classrooms, labs and administrative offices as they are all vulnerable to problems.

Minuteman, a Texas based company whose power protection products are sold in more than 100 countries, offers a full power protection product line that can enable the educational institution to protect its entire campus. Such products include surge suppressors for non-critical components, standby EnSpire series and line interactive Entrust (News - Alert), PRO-E, PRO-RT and EnterprisePlus series UPSs for small- to medium-sized network and security devices. Minuteman also offers full on-line Endeavor UPSs for enterprise wide power protection systems that require multiple hours of runtime.

The Minuteman PRO-RT Line Interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply is designed to simulate sine wave rack/tower convertible UPSs and will support network servers, small rack environments, security CCTV & DVR, telecom and VoIP for optimal power protection of communication channels.

The PRO-RT series UPS also offers power protection in its automatic voltage regulation and versatile configuration options for a wide range of small to medium load applications. Value-priced, this power protection platform is also rich in features. The UPS incorporates line-interactive technology that will preserve battery power by providing voltage regulation during voltage sags or even surges.

Complete with an LCD display, the platform provides visual notification of power protection status, including information such as input voltage, frequency, percent of battery charge, estimated runtime, and a number of other conditions.

Each of the PRO-RT models include the Minuteman SentryPlus power management and diagnostic software. When the model is installed on a workstation or server; the user gains access to a complete solution that provides control over monitoring and the management of the UPS device with a Web browser-based interface.

The PRO-RT models are truly designed for versatility as they can easily be mounted in a standard rack using the included rackmount ears. The ears can also be attached to the unit, allowing it to stand as a tower. A wall mount kit is available for greater versatility.

Whether the power protection is needed in a school or in a place of commercial business, Minuteman offers a full line of reliable solutions to keep everyone on track.
