Businesses Look to Reduce Downtime with Reliable UPS

In 2018, 26% of companies experienced a power outage that lasted more than one hour, and 25% experienced a downtime incident, degradation of service, or server or data center outage at least once a month¹. Unfortunately, such outages are common and costly. Uninterruptible power supplies for businesses can help reduce downtime by providing the backup power you need to limit or prevent outages.

The cost of downtime per hour can range from $300,000 to $5 million.

The Cost of Downtime

The cost of downtime can be detrimental to a business, with a one-hour outage costing an average of $700,000 in 2019². However, the total cost of an unplanned server or data center outage can be closer to $500K-$1M when accounting for lost revenues, wages, inventory, labor, other direct/indirect costs, and opportunity costs. Some businesses by their nature, size, and utilization of IT will incur significantly higher costs during the time of a typical outage. For these, the cost of downtime can reach as high as $5 million per hour.

Impact by Industry

Some businesses, by their nature, size, and utilization of IT, will incur significantly higher costs during the time of a typical outage. Telecom and brokerages, for example, are estimated to lose $3M and nearly $10M, respectively from an outage of average duration. British Airways and Delta Airlines estimate that losses they incurred from outages due to critical power infrastructure failures were staggering at $130M and $150M, respectively.

Server Data Center Outages are Rising

As data centers are relied upon more heavily in corporate IT – and are expected to run half of all workloads in 2021 – reports of outages are becoming more frequent and preventing or reducing downtime is becoming more essential. In 2018, 49% of survey responders told the Uptime Institute they had experienced a data center outage or some interruption of service in the past year. That was up from 25% the year before³.

Power Loss Leads to Profit Loss

Reliable backup power for your business can reduce downtime and prevent an outage from turning into a disaster. But what happens when the uninterruptible power supply for your business fails? UPS failure is the number one cause of prolonged data center outages⁴, and can be driven by inferior technology, weak product quality, improper maintenance, battery failure and poor service. The risk of UPS failure and its implications for business downtime makes choosing the correct UPS for your power backup system essential.
