ENSURING RELIABLE BUSINESS WITH BACKUP POWER

Small and medium businesses face the same power threats as large enterprises — surges, brownouts, blackouts, and electrical noise — but with smaller IT budgets, fewer dedicated resources, and less infrastructure redundancy. A single power event can knock out workstations, crash servers, corrupt data, and silence VoIP phones for an entire office.

SMBs need power protection that is affordable, easy to deploy without specialized IT staff, and scalable as the business grows. The right solution protects workstations, network gear, VoIP phones, small servers, and shared peripherals while providing the monitoring and management capabilities that growing businesses require.

TYPES OF EQUIPMENT TO PROTECT

    • Office Workstations & PCs
    • VoIP Telephone Systems
    • Network Switches & Routers
    • Small Business Servers & NAS
    • Shared Printers & Copiers
    • Wireless Access Points
    • AV Conference Room Equipment
    • External Hard Drives & Backup Devices

WHY INSTALL POWER PROTECTION FOR SMB SYSTEMS?

AFFORDABLE PROTECTION

Power events cost small businesses an average of $8,000-$50,000 per incident in lost productivity, data recovery, and equipment damage. UPS protection costs a fraction of a single event.

EASY DEPLOYMENT

SMBs can’t afford complex power infrastructure. Minuteman solutions are plug-and-play, with simple setup that doesn’t require a dedicated IT team.

DATA PROTECTION

Small business servers store everything — accounting, customer records, inventory, email. Power events corrupt databases and can take days to recover.

VOIP & COMMUNICATIONS

Modern SMBs depend on VoIP phones and internet connectivity. A power outage silences every phone and disconnects every employee.
