Even in the USA, it is estimated that computers suffer over 125 power disturbances per month, and that 48.5% of all data losses can be attributed to problems with power supply. The incidence and severity of power sags, spikes, brownouts, blackouts and other events is even higher in Africa.
Westcon Africa has been an Authorised Distributor across sub-Saharan Africa for over ten years. Because of our knowledge, experience and sales performance, Westcon Africa has been the APC African Regional Distributor of the Year for several years.
APC manufactured their first uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in 1984, and now sell more UPS annually than any other vendor. With factories in Mexico, Ireland, India and China plus research facilities in the USA, Denmark and Ireland, APC now offer the most complete end-to-end portfolio for power protection for all electrical devices, especially IT equipment.
From the entry-level Back-UPS 300VA to the RT 480kVA, APC provide line interactive and on-line power solutions in a wide variety of sizes, varying features and a host of optional accessories to meet the specific power needs of all IT users.
APC is more than just UPSs. From InfraStrucXure integrated power, cooling, racks, management, security and services installations for Data Centres and Server Rooms to the pocket-size ProtectNets surge suppressors for network and telephone line interfaces, with many other power related products such as PowerManager for work station peripherals and PowerChute power management software. APC were also chosen by Microsoft to develop in-built UPS support in Windows and Windows NT.
There is a network of Authorised Warranty Service Centres across Africa supporting APC products in the field.
