An uninterruptible power supply, also known as a UPS, is an important device that protects a desktop computer from sudden power outages and other power disturbances. They provide uninterrupted power to a computer by switching between primary and backup power without the computer noticing the change. There are three basic types of UPS systems, including online double conversion (ODC), line-interactive and offline (also called battery backup and standby). Each type has its own advantages in protecting today’s distributed IT infrastructure especially on the network edge. Throughout the history of UPSs, their main function has been to provide backup power in the event of a power failure. This allows the user to continue working or have enough time to shut down the systems safely. As technology has advanced, UPS systems have evolved to be more efficient and reliable even allowing for automatic shut down of systems and notifications via email or text.
Market Dynamics:
The growing telecommunication sector is projected to boost growth of the market for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) market in the near future. This can be attributed to the increased use of high power range UPS systems by telecommunication providers and cloud service providers to provide continuous power backup in the event of any disruption in regular power.
However, high capital investment and durability issues of UPS systems is likely to hinder growth of the global uninterruptible power supply (UPS) market during the forecast period.
