It delivers virtually zero-downtime availability, eliminates all the costs and problems of lead-acid battery banks and is a perfect complement to the industry-leading capabilities of our <a href="http://toshiba.com/ind/product_display.jsp?id1=14&id2=28">G8000</a> line of large-scale UPS systems.” </span></div> <div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div> <div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">“Both our product and the Toshiba G8000 UPS series are exceptionally well suited to the challenging short-burst inrush needs common to medical and broadcast equipment,” said Pentadyne CEO Mark McGough. “Conventional, battery-based UPS systems are severely challenged by those conditions, but the Toshiba-Pentadyne solution can handle that all day long for decades.
