Ideal for SMEs, conference rooms, doctor/ dental surgeries, classrooms and homes, the Compact uses HEPA filtration and germicidal UVC light to remove more than 99.97% of pathogens and other airborne particulate matter, including bacteria, pollen, dust and mould. Five airflow speeds and 360-degree outflow enable clean air to penetrate the entire room no matter where the unit is placed.

Real-time alerts can be set to manage maintenance schedules and to reset the filter monitor after the filter has been replaced. www.rensair.co.uk B2B with a Bang Cloud explained Managed web hosting provider Cloudways has compiled a Cloud Hosting Glossary with definitions of 50 common cloud computing terms.
