Lagos, 24 Oct 2006
Systemtech Services, one of Nigeria`s fast growing IT firms, has maintained uptime and protected its PCs and network equipment against potential power problems, through the use of American Power Conversion (APC) uninterruptible power supply (UPSes).
"With Nigeria`s frequent power failures, I have seen firsthand the kinds of damage power interruptions can cause," says Ezichi Nkwoma, customer service manager at Systemtech Services. "Thankfully, my company has been using APC products for years in order to adequately safeguard our expensive equipment, ensure high availability, as well as enable us to speedily access and update time-critical data.
"During major power problems, such as surges, fluctuations and outages which occur frequently in Lagos, our APC power solutions safeguard our database and prevent any damage to our equipment. APC`s Back-UPS unit specifically has allowed us to properly shutdown all applications and power down all computers gracefully during any power occurrences."
Nkwoma believes that without the APC Back-UPS, Systemtech Services would have suffered major setbacks that would have cost the business a significant amount of time and money, as well as credibility with its clients, which range from small organisations to large blue-chip companies both in the private and public sector.
Says Carl Kleynhans, country general manager: Africa at APC: "APC`s comprehensive products are designed for both home and corporate environments and assist in improving the availability, manageability and performance of sensitive electronic, network, communication and industrial equipment of all sizes.
"We believe our mission is to solve real customer issues, related to the reliability and productivity of information systems. Based on this, we deliver end-to-end power solutions to guarantee an IT system`s availability, be it a home PC or a large data centre."
"For more than seven years, Systemtech Services has consistently relied on APC`s UPS solutions, ranging from the Back-UPS 650VA to the Smart-UPS 2500KVA, to address local power problems and we have been very pleased with the reliability of these products," Nkwoma concludes.
The products were purchased from Saap Tech Nigeria, one of APC`s local Authorised Silver partners.
