Handle with care

The cost of a power outage for a single switch site ranges from $3.37 million per hour to $6.02 million per day, far out weighing the cost of an entire network monitoring contract. Power related failures in communication central offices, financial data centres, cable head ends, and power utility sub-stations have made headlines. Even with backup facilities in place, 95 percent of organizations have experienced an unplanned data centre outage within the past two years and 49 percent of unexpected downtime was due to absolute UPS failure. Diesel generators directly address this critical and costly problem.
