Predictive Technology, Inc.

Meet the People Behind the Uptime.

This is Cassidy, PTI's Account Manager.

If you've worked with PTI, there's a good chance you've worked with Cassidy.

As Tim's right hand, she's often the first person helping clients navigate UPS systems, batteries, and backup power solutions. Whether it's a single-phase UPS for a network closet or a three-phase power system supporting critical operations, Cassidy helps connect clients with the right solutions for their environment.

But her impact extends beyond our clients.

Cassidy is actively involved in the local technology community through organizations like the Omaha IT Council (OITC) and is always looking for ways to get the PTI team involved. From community events to volunteer opportunities, she's constantly finding ways to strengthen connections both inside and outside the office.

Giving back to the communities we serve is important to us.

Last week, Cassidy, Jeff, Chrissy, and Malia (Chrissy's daughter) spent the day volunteering at Food Bank for the Heartland, helping scoop, package, seal, and box hamburger meat for families in need.

We love seeing our team get involved, and even more when family members join us in making a difference.

Food Bank for the Heartland serves 93 counties across Nebraska and Iowa, helping provide meals and support to individuals and families facing food insecurity.

This marks our second year volunteering with this incredible organization, and we're proud to play a small role in helping fight hunger right here in our community.

A big thank you to Food Bank for the Heartland for the work they do every day and to our team for being so awesome.

Power issues don’t have to be full outages to create problems. Voltage dips, fluctuations, and short disturbances can still take systems down if there’s no UPS protection in place.

And this applies to more than just large data centers.

🔌 Small medical offices.
🔌 Gas stations.
🔌 Corporate offices.
🔌 Retail environments.

Downtime matters, beuase every second your servers are down, that is time you're not running your business (and that means you're losing money).

UPS power prevents downtime. It matters.

Voltage Ride-Through: A Key Ingredient in Data Center Resilience Voltage ride-through helps data centers withstand power disturbances, ensuring resilience and minimizing downtime in an unstable energy landscape.

We all like to max things out.

💪 Max weight at the gym.
💪 Max coffee size.
💪 Max efficiency.

But your UPS? That’s one thing you don’t want to max.

We see it all the time — systems running close to capacity because everything “looks fine.” Until it isn’t. UPS systems aren’t designed to live at 100%.

Once you start pushing past ~80%, you reduce your margin for:
🚫 Load Spikes
🚫 System Inefficiencies
🚫 Unexpected Changes

And in redundant systems, the risk is even higher. If you have two UPS systems, each one should be carrying no more than ~40%. Because if one goes down, the other has to take the full load. If both are already near capacity, failover becomes the problem.

Maxing out your UPS doesn’t mean you’re efficient. It means you’re operating without a buffer (and with reduced runtime).

And in power systems, the buffer is what keeps everything running when something changes.
