Schedule a Power Assessment to help with upcoming E-Rate funding Requests
As school administrators and technical directors, ensuring that your institution’s IT infrastructure is robust and reliable is paramount. With the increasing reliance on technology in education, having a stable power supply for your computer equipment and network is critical. This is where Twotrees Technologies, in collaboration with Eaton, can make a significant difference.
Understanding E-rate and Power Protection
E-rate, or the Schools and Libraries Program of the Universal Service Fund, is a federally funded initiative designed to make internet and telecommunications services more affordable for schools and libraries. This program provides discounts and funds for essential equipment, including Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), network switches, and cabling, ensuring that your school’s IT infrastructure remains operational and efficient.
The Importance of Onsite Power Assessments
To maximize the benefits of E-rate funding, it is crucial to conduct a thorough assessment of your current power needs and infrastructure. Twotrees Technologies, in partnership with Eaton, offers free comprehensive onsite power assessments tailored for K-12 education customers. Here’s what you can expect from our assessment:
- Detailed Site Walkthrough: Our engineers will inspect every closet or room housing IT equipment to calculate load and identify critical equipment.
- Equipment Evaluation: We will gather information on your existing UPSs and related equipment to evaluate direct replacements and future needs.
