Lightning
Lightning strikes can quickly destroy one or
more computers, affecting hard disks, servers and entire networks. Be prepared
for disaster with Remote Data Backups offsite backup service.
A lightning surge often travels along a local
area network, affecting some or all connected computers.
Many people run their computers without even a surge
protector. Power surges caused by lightning or a power system malfunction can
easily damage the fragile electrical components inside a computer, particularly
the hard drives.
Surge protectors do not guarantee protection from
lightning strikes. The hundreds of millions of volts of electricity produced by
lightning strikes can easily jump across the small fuses in inexpensive power
strips.
Remembering to switch off your computers during a
thunderstorm or at night is not a safe solution. You may come home one day or
wake up one morning to find that a lightning strike has fried your system.
Lightning bolts can also cause
fires. |
