Find Mac OS X’s hidden UPS options.
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is the only way to make sure your studio’s servers receive clean, sufficient, and consistent power.

There is an explanation. What your team may be suffering from is an unfortunate side-effect of how Microsoft Office for Mac handles its temporary files. If your team is suffering from this problem, we have a somewhat technical description of the cause, with some options on how to address it.
