Protect your peace of mind against Power Problems
Leo Craig, General Manager of IP Expo exhibitor Riello UPS, explains why a dependable uninterruptible power supply is a facilities manager’s best friend.
As a facilities manager with overall responsibility for the safety and security of your site, you know all too well that the buck stops with you. When you consider all the machinery, computer equipment, telephone systems, lighting, and other essential infrastructure in your building that’s entirely dependent on a clean and continuous source of electricity, any disruption to that critical power supply can prove calamitous. More than four-fifths (81%) of UK
businesses have experienced at least one serious energy-related failure in the past year. And with even the most cautious estimates suggesting such downtime events cost a minimum of £5,000 per minute, it’s clear you need robust plans in place to minimise these risks. Let’s face it, the last thing you want is the finger of blame pointing firmly in your direction. From the factory floor, shopping centre,
or office block, through to schools, hospitals, or hotels, a reliable uninterruptible power supply (UPS) offering standby battery backup is your ultimate insurance policy. When the worst happens and there’s
a power failure, a UPS gives you that all- important breathing space until the electricity’s back up and running again or the standby generators kick in. It allows your servers and IT equipment to safely shut down without any disastrous data loss. However, a modern UPS doesn’t just offer
protection against the most serious blackouts. They can also ‘filter’ many other minor – yet potentially still damaging – disruptions to your mains supply, stabilising the voltage and protecting you against incidents such as sags and surges.

facilities such as hospital operating theatres or laboratories, where even the most minimal fluctuation to the incoming mains supply can literally mean the difference between life and death.
UPS for Facilities Managers
Riello UPS’s award-winning range of UPSs and standby power systems includes solutions for powering everything from the smallest desktop PCs to the most advanced supercomputers used in hyperscale data centres. At IP Expo we’re looking forward to
showcasing a couple of models that are proving particularly popular with facilities managers across the country. Firstly, we have our Multi Sentry, a transformerless UPS which delivers high power density and exceptional energy efficiency in a compact footprint. Available in 12 sizes ranging from 10-200
kVA, it’s one of the best UPS for powering capacitive, high density loads like blade servers without any reduction in power. It’s designed specifically for sites that have limited power capacity or problems with harmonics and is an ideal option to protect mission-critical ICT, telecoms systems, and networks. Depending on the size of your facility and load requirements, up to six Multi Sentry can be installed together. Another smart choice for estates managers is our Sentinel Dual range. These are particularly suitable for smaller settings where power and reliability have to be delivered in a limited floorspace. Available in 5-10 kVA models, these versatile units can be installed as a floor-standing tower or in
rack-mounted cabinets to suit the server room layout. Suitable for powering everything from
small offices through to sizeable data centres, these UPS can achieve efficiency levels up to 95%, meaning minimal energy is wasted without compromising on resilience. Another advantage is that the unit’s batteries are hot- swappable, so the system can be proactively maintained without the critical load being interrupted.

Combining six essential IT events under one roof, this year’s IP Expo (3-4 October) is gearing up to be the biggest and best yet. It’s the ideal opportunity for IT and
facilities managers to learn the latest trends and developments in areas such as cloud storage, cyber security, the Internet of Things, and Artificial Intelligence. Riello UPS’s friendly team will be on
hand at stand K8 to demonstrate some of our award-winning uninterruptible power supplies. You’ll also get to learn about our comprehensive range of aftercare and support, such as our remote monitoring services and UPS health-checks. Our experts will also talk you through our
industry-leading UPS maintenance contracts, including our new Diamond plan, which is the first in the country to guarantee not just an emergency response time but a fix time too. Join us at the ExCeL London, it couldn’t
be easier. Register for your free exhibition pass here: https://www.ipexpoeurope. com/2018-Exhibitors/Riello-UPS-Ltd/?utm_ source=IP18RIE For further information about Riello UPS visit
