By choosing Tripp Lite SmartOnline Single-Phase UPS systems over the competition, network managers can cut costs significantly. Since Tripp Lite UPS systems consume less energy to operate, it cuts electricity costs. Also, since it consumes less energy, it generates less heat, reducing facility air conditioning and airflow management costs. Network managers can save even more energy by reducing the duty cycle or “on” time of devices. For example, a PC (120 W) that is always on costs an estimated average of $100 per year to power. If that same PC is reduced automatically to 50% on and 50% off (using Windows or Apple’s integrated power management) the cost is cut in half — an average of $50 per year to power.
