Axiz launches UPS for small, medium businesses

Axiz has announced the immediate availability of the MGE NOVA AVR 600 and 1100 uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs). The NOVA AVR range of UPS units, ranging from R420, provide small and medium businesses with cost-effective and rugged protection against electrical interference and power outages.

"Power problems account for over 40% of the instances of data loss in SA. MGE`s new NOVA AVR range provides ideal protection for one to three PCs either in a business or home environment," says Shandu Davhana, product manager for peripherals at Axiz.

Interruptions to power supply results in data-processing errors, loss or damage of computer files, premature ageing of IT equipment, and interruptions to operation and the consequent loss of business.

"The correct selection of a UPS is critical to ensure effective protection from erratic power supplies, aggravated in summer by electrical storms," states Davhana.

The MGE NOVA AVR range is equipped with protection for the telephone, fax, modem and Internet lines, including ADSL - essential in order to prevent surge and the destruction of sensitive electronic components.

The NOVA AVR uses three indicator lamps to display the principal states (ON/OFF, Replace Batteries, Fault), supplemented by audible alarms. The batteries are also easy to replace. Its cold start function turns the NOVA AVR into a mobile power source for IT equipment.

"The NOVA AVR range is ideal for buyers that want the optimum price/performance ratio," says Davhana.

"Most people don`t understand the true value of their data until they lose it - and even then the loss is thought of more in terms of the inconvenience than the loss of intellectual property. To ensure true peace of mind, resellers should encourage their customers to deploy a UPS in addition to a frequent and process-based backup process of mission-critical data," concludes Davhana.
