A practical solution to power fluctuations and power loss problems is through using a gadget that will keep the supply of power constant. In order to sell out such an idea to a client, one needs to explain the problem, its impact and what can be done to abate the same. The following explanation suffices.

In order to avert losses that may be brought by power failures, it is essential to ensure that computer systems keep running when lights flicker, become dim or go out. When such events occur, power supply to the machines get interrupted leading to the machines rebooting or hanging. To avoid such, one needs to connect the computer systems, and any other vulnerable gadgets to an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
