UPS-BASED FILE DATA STORAGE APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS

摘要

A file data storage apparatus includes an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and a file data storage device. The file data file data storage device may include at least one of electronic storage, magnetic storage, and optical storage. The file data storage apparatus may further include a common communications transceiver circuit configured to provide communications for the UPS and the file data storage device. A computer-based apparatus capable of interfacing with such a file data storage apparatus includes a computer including a communications port configured to be coupled to both a UPS and an external file storage medium and to communicate with the external file storage medium and the UPS using a common communications transceiver. The computer may be configured to implement a UPS-based file data storage agent. A computer program product for providing a UPS-based file data storage comprises program code configured to implement a UPS-based file data storage agent in a computer.
