Christmas Season is here! And, for sure, people are now on the lookout for the perfect gift items for their loved ones. Gift staples like clothes, accessories, gadgets, bags, shoes, and the like are surely a top of mind. But what if you go a little outside the box this time?

Amid today’s “new normal,” we spend more time on our personal computers at home to work than going to our office. For Vertiv, a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, gifting your loved ones an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is one of the most relevant and useful gift items this Christmas.

A UPS is basically a battery in a box that you can plug your devices into, serving as a backup power source during sudden power outages. It gives users enough time to properly shut down their computer or save important work before losing or becoming corrupted.

Gamers can also benefit from UPS. Since video games have become one of the favorite past times for many, this device can save gamers from the heartbreaking moment of sudden stoppage in the middle of an important game. It gives them enough time to save their game progress or finish unsavable online multiplayer games before shutting it down.

UPS also protects devices from hardware damages due to sudden shutdowns rather than saving significant progress during power outages. It doubles as a surge protector and aids your equipment and uptime by sustaining temporary sags in voltage and other electrical power networks' impulses, which can potentially damage computer power supplies.

Generally, industries and big companies use UPS to maintain power supplies for their computers and other devices, requiring spacious areas to accommodate. However, you can find a micro UPS that is small enough to fit the spaces of the person you can give it as a gift.

Vertiv's Liebert PSA itON SOHO, for instance, is a micro UPS designed to accommodate remote workspaces or game stations at home. It has an automatic voltage regulator (AVR), giving home computers a higher protection level by correcting high and low voltages without using valuable battery power.

The Micro UPS is equipped with universal sockets, allowing the user to connect virtually any device input plugs without the hassle of looking for adapters to plug-in a device. Other than computers and other large appliances, users can also charge smartphones through its standard USB mobile charger for fast and safe charging or powering any electronic peripherals like routers, modems, and wireless storage devices.

Let us stray away from the usual Christmas gift ideas for our loved ones and give them more unique and thoughtful presents like the UPS. Especially after everything that happened this year, we can use something more helpful to support us through the day with work or games without the worry of sudden power outages.

At Vertiv, we have always been dedicated to innovating solutions for people who want uninterrupted power supplies. Our full-range Leibert UPS, which are future-proof, eco-friendly, and highly efficient, aims to help computers improve uptime while bearing in mind specific requirements your computer needs to work or play games effortlessly.
