Increased safety and security

Maintaining communications at all times is a critical priority for schools—and the multiple layers of security in place require consistent network access. Eaton’s industry leading power management portfolio provides maximum reliability and uptime, so cameras and security storage stay online and conditioned power keeps communication and public address systems in operation.

Enhanced communication capabilities

Digitized testing and blended learning— key tenants of a collaborative learning environment—require 100 percent uptime. This need is driving IT managers to implement and automate an “always on” strategy. Eaton’s virtualized integration and power capping management ensure the most critical applications are prioritized and kept online during extended power issues.
