Hurricane Irene, a powerful Category 3 hurricane, is threatening the east coast and it looks like we may get hit hard with the storm. Lastest projections show the hurricane hitting Long Island on Sunday.
Prepare Your Technology
Be sure you have a full backup of all your important data. (both on and off-site preferably)
If you have a UPS battery (Uninterruptible Power Supplies with surge protection) be sure the unit is connected and the auto shutdown software is installed and working.
If you do not have a UPS battery on each device, we recommend shutting
down your PC's and servers if you expect, or are prone to power outages. A sudden loss of power will damage computer equipment. At the very least be sure you have surge protectors if you do not have UPS units.
We advise you to unplug your PC if you do not have a proper UPS or surger protector.
If your in flood prone area, make sure to keep all your computers and hardware off the floors.
**If you have a server and multiple PC's, it might be safest for you to shut down your office for this weekend to protect your systems. Before you take this action, please contact Armando and discuss if this is the best way to prepare for your site**
