Many WGS readers have a strong background in computers and a great many of you are in the Information Technology (IT) field. Which means that most of you appreciate the value of a Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) for always-on equipment such as a business server. This type of equipment cannot afford to lose power or lose power without a graceful shutdown of the computer in the event of an extended power loss.

While home servers may not be as critical in this regard as a business server, the same need to maintain power for short losses of power, and the ability to allow a graceful shutdown if the loss of power is longer is still a very desirable feature to have. With 2000VA of reserve battery backup power, the Opti-UPS Thunder Shield TS2250B may be just what you need for your home server.
