First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a happy and healthy new year! Sincerely hope that you have eased yourselves gently into 2016. This, our first blog of the new year, is an ideal time to introduce a new competition and our partners on this, Eaton.
We have enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship with Eaton. Working with them, we have been able to deliver energy efficient power management with UPS, PDU’s and much, much more.
