Balancing Scalability and Reliability in the Critical Power system: When Does 'N + 1' Become 'Too Many + 1'?
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) protection can be delivered through a single-module approach or through redundant systems. Redundancy enables higher availability of critical systems and is typically achieved through either an N + 1 or 1 + 1 design. While 1 + 1 systems deliver a significant improvement in availability over N + 1 systems and are regularly specified for the most critical applications, N + 1 remains a viable and popular option for applications seeking to balance cost, reliability and scalability.

Overview of The PoE Technology
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is an evolving technology designed to deliver power and transmit data on an Ethernet cable at the same time. Modeling after the technology used in telecommunication systems which supplies power to telephones, PoE powers network devices without the need of AC electrical outlets. By eliminating the power cords and the power infrastructure, this technology greatly simplifies the wiring and deployment matters and brings lots of convenience and benefits in home, office, and industrial environments.
