Businesses in every industry need to fortify their core infrastructure to facilitate hybrid workforces, ensure uninterrupted operations, and maintain business continuity. They also need to invest in robust infrastructure to ensure seamless communication, collaboration, and productivity.
This is particularly true for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who are under pressure to embrace flexibility and drive productivity through innovation and new technologies, if they hope to compete with their corporate counterparts.
Fortunately, Vertiv is able to support infrastructure needs from Power solutions to IT management, with a comprehensive portfolio of critical power, thermal, and IT management products and services.
When deciding how to spend the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) budget, there are several key considerations that SMEs should bear in mind. One of the first should be enhancing their IT infrastructure to ensure uptime because in today’s hybrid and remote work setups, there are challenges in terms of each user’s ability to support daily operations.

Uninterruptible power supply
To mitigate this, equipping employees with Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) becomes essential. UPS units serve as a crucial backup power source during unforeseen electrical outages, safeguarding critical systems against downtime, data loss, and equipment damage.
Promoting active communication and collaboration among team members is crucial. Addressing challenges associated with virtual communication, team collaboration, and fostering a sense of belonging among remote and hybrid teams is also key.
To maintain open communication channels between management and team members, companies should be prepared to invest in infrastructure solutions that ensure uptime, with UPS systems being a reliable choice. UPS solutions don't always need to be extensive in scale, as Vertiv offers a range of options tailored to the specific needs of employees and the company.

Minimising complexity
Hybrid work arrangements demand more from companies compared to remote work setups, as they often require staff members to split their time between the office and the home. Even when employees use their equipment at home, businesses, particularly SMEs, must maintain a robust infrastructure capable of meeting the shifting needs of on-site employees.
While almost every tool and solution in a business environment can be considered critical, perhaps nothing is as important as the IT backbone that keeps it all running smoothly. For SMEs who lack the budgets to afford massive IT teams, Vertiv has the answer.
With over 300 global service centres, and more than 3,000 certified field service engineers deployed around the world, customers have instant access to comprehensive electrical power system management and testing services.
Through its partners, Vertiv has the knowledge and expertise to keep customers’ IT infrastructure strong and ensure the continuous delivery of the services they provide.
Thermal management
Most IT professionals depend on computer rooms or small spaces for applications that are growing increasingly business critical. These include branch office operations, telecoms, cloud computing and remote locations diagnostics. Cooling infrastructures for these spaces needs to deliver high levels of protection, efficiency, capacity, as well as flexibility. Unfortunately, these demands are not being met by the air conditioning systems or other cooling systems that come standard in most office buildings.
With Tarsus Distribution and Vertiv, SMEs can get efficient and reliable heat management and humidity control solutions geared toward their specific size, location, and unique business goals.
Even smaller entities have mission-critical facilities that deserve the very best in precision cooling, and through its partners, Vertiv delivers with the industry’s most advanced equipment and controls, low operating costs and unparalleled expertise.
