Failure is not an option
UPS systems maintenance is periodic, leaving room for failure between checks. Improper maintenance can lead to system failure, service disruption, costly repairs, and higher operational costs.
The primary causes of unplanned data center failure include:
- UPS system battery failure – 24%
- Accidental/human error – 22%
- Cyber crime (DDos) – 18%
- Weather related – 12%
- Water, heat, or CRAC failure – 12%
- Generator failure – 7%
- IT equipment failure – 4% (Ponemon Institute, 2013)
"Seven out of 10 small businesses that experience a major data loss go out of business within 1 year" (DTI/PricewaterhouseCoopers, 2014).
Monitor your investment
By monitoring, you always know the state-of-health of all of your batteries. This reduces the waste of replacing batteries before it is necessary, electrical demand, and carbon/environmental impact.
Testing your UPS and generator batteries can reduce your risk for downtime.
24/7 automated monitoring helps your UPS backup batteries last longer, consume less energy, protect from failure, and maintain 100% uptime – saving you money and, ultimately, your business.
