Dear Mr. Mosier,
Recently we had purchased several of your products to assist with an unknown electrical anomaly
within our Engineering Department. We were experiencing unidentifiable lockups resulting in
critical computer server restarts. We had to replace the batteries in our current UPS systems at an
unacceptable rate. Both the replacement and disposal costs of these UPS batteries were proving to
be an increasing burden to the department’s structural costs.
Since the installation of your Groundhog 1200VA, Groundhog 1800 VA (Rack Mount) and the
Director 1000 VA UPS back in August 2008, we have never had the adverse conditions exist since
their inception. Though the source of the electrical phenomena is still is unknown, we now feel that
our sensitive computing equipment is more robust in the presence of the electrical disturbance. This
has resulted in significant cost savings to us in terms of increased uptime and not having to replace
UPS batteries, as we have not encountered any failures up to the time of writing you this letter.
As a result I want to express my complete happiness with the performance of your innovative
product. We have determined to gradually retrofit existing power conditioning equipment i.e. Surge
suppression and UPS devices with your proven technology. Also, I wish to inform you that we plan
to construct two additional distant learning labs to the campus and we plan to incorporate
Transblock technology to protect our equipment and improve on the down time. Please keep us
informed as new product developments occur.
Sincerely,
M. Shridhar
