Which backup power solution would be the MOST suitable for a company needing immediate power protection and the ability to execute an orderly shutdown of critical servers during a power outage?
An uninterruptible power supply with network management capabilities
A standby generator
A battery-backed surge protector
A basic uninterruptible power supply without network functionality
The right choice for maintaining operations during short power interruptions and managing a controlled shutdown of IT systems is an uninterruptible power supply with network management capabilities. This not only provides temporary battery backup but also enables administrators to automate shutdown processes to prevent data corruption. Other options are less suitable. A standby generator is not immediate, as it takes several seconds to start. A basic UPS provides power but cannot automatically signal the servers to shut down gracefully. A battery-backed surge protector is generally designed for less critical equipment and may not provide sufficient runtime or management features for servers.
