The aim of the “Connected Schools” programme is to improve the quality of education by facilitating and consolidating the integration of ICT throughout schools in the Canary Islands. Over the last few years, Salicru has contributed to this innovative large-scale project in the education sector by supplying Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems to protect the power supply to servers and peripheral equipment in the islands’ schools.
One of the most recent actions carried out by the Government of the Canary Islands’ Ministry of Education within the framework of this programme is the installation of communications servers and network electronics, in order to adapt the ICT infrastructure in line with the increased bandwidth in the participating schools.
To protect this technological infrastructure against disturbances in the electricity network and ensure optimum functionality, Salicru will supply 400 SPS ADVANCE RT UPS systems with a power rating of 3000 VA.
Efficient protection for entry-level servers and IT equipment
Salicru’s current SPS ADVANCE RT2 series comprises a range of UPS systems featuring line-interactive technology with sine-wave output voltage and convertible tower/rack format, with a height of just 2U for all power ratings. In addition, its output power factor of 0.9 and compatibility with APFC (active power factor correction) type loads make it the best option for any type of load that requires protection.
In terms of communications, it features an RS-232/USB interface (compatible with the HID protocol) and a smart slot that can optionally hold an SNMP card, MODBUS or potential-free contacts; also available are software packages for local or virtual monitoring and management of the protected devices.
Other outstanding features include: solutions for applications with a long backup time (using devices with extra chargers and additional battery modules), swivel mount display and adapters (pedestal and lugs) for placing in tower or rack formats, and programmable outputs (critical/non-critical loads) to extend the available backup time.
The features of the SPS ADVANCE RT2 series (which offers a range of power ratings from 800 to 3000 VA) make it a highly versatile solution for protecting a wide variety of IT equipment, such as basic servers, routers, switches, hubs and point-of-sale devices with high power-density requirements and/or rack installation of servers/communications.
This is not the first time that Salicru has worked alongside partners in the educational field. A few years ago, the company took part in a similar project involving technology for state schools, promoted by the Government of Andalusia.
