To all,
When the AV catalog goes on line later this week, look over the surge
suppressors and battery back up devices and then tell me what you all
are wanting to purchase in the future.
There is no need for me to ask for bids for products no one is going
to purchase. Give me a list and I will add those to the Spring 2010 bid.
You might also have to tell me what vendors are selling those items,
just in case I have to contact them if they are not already a vendor
for the co-op.
Same thing goes for all of our AV Catalog ... if you have standardized
on a product or mfg for certain items it would be good to know that.

I believe that the APC Symmetra line does on-line double-conversion.
This is the route that we are moving in the future due, not only to
the on-line functionality, but also because of the module-based
layout (add more kVA later), redundancy and hot-swappable batteries.

I am moving to recommending something other than APC for UPS units.
The APC units are "Standby" (equipment runs on line power and
quickly switches to inverter when needed) UPS. Not that I have had
any real issues with them I like the Idea of "On-Line" UPS better
where the UPS inverter is always supplying power to the equipment.
They are also a little happier when connected to a back-up generator
than Standby UPS units. CyberPower "Online Double Conversion" would
be my recommendation.

The software included allows for a single machine to connect via
USB, then it will chain to any number of servers via software. So
now if you have several servers on a single UPS all the servers can
shut down gracefully in the event of a UPS low battery.
I have a couple installed and have been very happy with them.

Techs,
Some of you may remember me. I was the tech at Pocahontas Area from
the time of dirt up 2 1/2 years ago when I retired. I just got
called back to the majors and am in need of some help! I would
first of all like some new info on how to image groups of PC's
(Sorry, Lance, nothing's changed at POKY!!!) I see we have a
duplicator but I'm wondering about the latest and greatest for
creating the image. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using
my retirement email address and will continue to do so. I'm trying
to work myself out of a job ASAP. We are doing a 1 to 1 in our high
school and will be implementing HP's DYKnow. Also, the footings for
a new high school are in place. Not sure whether I'm coming or
going. I will be asking for lots of advice, even from Lance!!
George
PS: We are also looking for a back-up ups system which we could
purchase now and move into our new building. Anyone done any ups
work lately???
