Eaton is running a campaign that aims to provide affordable solutions for modernizing uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems by replacing old elements with the latest ones. The buy-back campaign called “Trade-In 2024”, which takes place in European countries from April 1 to June 30, 2024, is designed to make life easier for IT managers, allowing them to buy a new UPS, the best from the classroom while recycling the old one in an environmentally responsible way.

The offer is available through official Eaton IT partners and applies to a wide range of Eaton online and interactive line UPS models, suitable for any distributed IT infrastructure.

“This campaign is part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, thereby providing value to our customers. By trading in their old UPS, customers can not only upgrade to the latest technology at a low cost, but also help reduce e-waste by ensuring their old devices are disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner,” said Marius Burlacu, IT Channel Sales Manager, Eaton.

Environmental responsibility is one of the elements that is being increasingly emphasized, and companies are becoming aware of the role they have amid legislative changes at European level that encourage sustainability. Replacing uninterruptible power supply systems with modern and efficient ones, as well as recycling systems in a professional and responsible way, helps companies achieve sustainability goals. Moreover, equipping with state-of-the-art UPSs is a guarantee of their long-term use, also contributing from this point of view to the objectives of environmental responsibility.

The important advantages that participation in the Eaton campaign brings for partner companies are:

• Continuity of Operations – Eaton’s latest UPS systems provide reliable backup power, ensuring seamless continuity of business operations, even during power outages.
• Data Protection – protection against data loss or corruption by safely shutting down the system or switching to backup power during power outages.
• Device protection – mitigating the risk of damage to sensitive IT equipment by regulating the power supply during voltage fluctuations.
• Efficiency and compatibility – newer UPS systems are more energy efficient, reducing energy costs. They also offer better compatibility with existing IT infrastructure and come with enhanced features such as better management software or improved power factor.

Also, the update of UPSs is based on an important trend at European level, digitization. The Digital Decade initiative, which set the objectives that the European Union wants to achieve by 2030 in this digitalization sector, includes elements that are directly dependent on continuous and efficient energy supply and data protection, and UPSs have a increasingly important role.
