UPS Backup for Firewalls & Security Appliances
Firewalls, VPN gateways, and security appliances protect the network perimeter and enable secure access to applications, cloud services, and remote users. If these devices lose power, both connectivity and security are immediately compromised — exposing organizations to downtime, data risk, and compliance violations.
Xtreme Power Conversion offers a purpose-built portfolio for firewalls, VPN concentrators, and security appliances — from ultra-compact branch deployments to rack-mounted enterprise platforms. Our J60, J60C, V70, J90 (120V), and J90i (208/230V) systems keep perimeter protection online through outages, brownouts, and unstable power.
Why firewalls & VPN gateways need UPS protection
Without firewall uptime, branch offices, remote users, and cloud apps are disconnected.
A firewall outage removes perimeter defenses until power is restored.
UPS backup keeps site-to-site tunnels and remote-access VPNs active.
Healthcare, finance, retail, and government require continuous firewall availability.
Keeps IT and security teams connected for monitoring, updates, and troubleshooting.
Clean, stable power through sags and unstable utility conditions.
