ENSURING RELIABLE EDUCATION WITH BACKUP POWER

Educational institutions manage sprawling technology infrastructure across multiple buildings and campuses — workstations in classrooms and computer labs, servers and switches in IDF/MDF closets, AV equipment in lecture halls, and administrative systems that keep the institution running.

Budget constraints, E-Rate eligibility requirements, and TAA compliance standards shape procurement decisions. Meanwhile, students and staff depend on uninterrupted access to learning management systems, student information systems, Wi-Fi networks, and campus communications. Power events don’t just cause IT downtime — they disrupt learning.

TYPES OF EQUIPMENT TO PROTECT

    • Classroom & Computer Lab Workstations
    • Campus IDF/MDF Network Closets
    • Student Information System (SIS) Servers
    • Learning Management System (LMS) Servers
    • Library & Administrative Workstations
    • AV & Lecture Hall Equipment
    • Campus Wi-Fi Controllers & Access Points
    • Campus Security & Surveillance Systems

WHY INSTALL POWER PROTECTION FOR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS?

LEARNING CONTINUITY

Power events disrupt online testing, LMS access, and digital learning tools. In an era of one-to-one computing and cloud-based curricula, network downtime means lost instructional time.

TAA & E-RATE COMPLIANCE

Education procurement often requires TAA compliant products. Minuteman offers TAA compliant UPS solutions eligible for E-Rate and government education funding.

DISTRIBUTED CAMPUS CHALLENGE

Schools and universities have IT equipment in dozens of IDF closets, server rooms, and classrooms across campus — all needing reliable, managed power protection.

BUDGET OPTIMIZATION

Education IT budgets are tight. The right UPS solution must deliver maximum protection per dollar while minimizing ongoing maintenance and battery replacement costs.
