Case Study: WebCentrix Relies On Tripp Lite UPS System During Power Outage

WebCentrix, Inc. is a Macintosh-based Internet Service Provider (ISP) located in West Chicago, Illinois, approximately 33 miles west of Chicago. Their services include business class Website and e-mail hosting, Web development/Web programming, search engine optimization and domain name registration/SSL certificates. WebCentrix utilizes 12 servers consisting of Apple PowerMac G3/G4/G5 desktop/tower machines and Intel®-based Mac minis, along with various networking equipment and external backup hard drives.

Erik Vandermey, Director of Internet Services for WebCentrix, was fully aware of the consequences of network downtime for an ISP. Not only would equipment suffer damage and data loss but perhaps even worse, the confidence of its customers would be impaired as well. To avoid crippling network downtime, short-term power backup was needed for Webcentrix's critical business servers and networking equipment.

Tripp Lite's SMART3000RM2U UPS System and BP48V60RT-3U Battery Pack provided WebCentrix with more than four hours of critical backup power for their servers.

Tripp Lite SmartPro UPS Systems provide line-interactive operation specially designed to provide servers, data centers, VoIP/telecom and networking equipment with a superior level of power protection and control.
