Double-Conversion Online Topology

Standard standby UPS units switch to battery power only after detecting utility failure, creating a brief 4-10ms voltage drop that can reset sensitive enterprise switches and corrupt database storage. Our Online Double-Conversion architecture continuously regenerates clean AC power through a pure sine wave inverter, completely isolating your hardware from raw grid noise, brownouts, and frequency drift.

  • Absolute isolation from incoming utility spikes and harmonic distortion
  • 0ms battery transfer keeps servers and VoIP trunks running uninterrupted
  • Cold-start capability allows system power-up even during total grid failure
  • Hot-swappable battery modules permit maintenance without system downtime

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

You May Not Need

A bigger generator is not always the answer. Sizing the right online double-conversion UPS to bridge the first 60 seconds of any outage protects sensitive electronics and eliminates unnecessary generator run hours.

Backspace Insight

Power protection is not just about having a battery. It is about harmonic filtering, neutral-to-ground isolation, and structured circuit-level distribution across your MDF/IDF closets.
Our approach08 steps

We Don't Just Supply Equipment

The equipment list comes last. We assess coverage, density, load and your existing network first — then specify what the environment actually needs. From there we deploy, test and support it.

01

Assess

We audit your current environment, risks, and requirements.

02

Design

We engineer a solution architecture tailored to your needs.

03

Supply

We source and deliver the right hardware and software.

04

Install

Our engineers deploy the system with minimal disruption.

05

Configure

We optimize settings, policies, and integrations.

06

Integrate

We connect everything to work as one unified system.

07

Test

Every link, camera, and failover is proven before handover. You get the results.

08

Support

Ongoing maintenance, monitoring, and local helpdesk.

Before & After Backspace

Left: the contractor spaghetti you inherit. Right: the Backspace standard we deliver and maintain.

Before

  • Spaghetti cabling, unlabeled and untraceable
  • Mixed vendors, no standard, warranty gaps
  • Ad-hoc Wi-Fi with dead zones and collisions
  • No test reports — installations by the cheapest bidder
  • Finger-pointing between suppliers when things fail

After

  • Backspace standard: labelled, tested, certified cabling
  • Single vendor accountability, documented as-built drawings
  • Predictable coverage with heatmaps and VLAN isolation
  • Full test reports, certification and handover pack
  • One number, one SLA, engineered to scale
