Mitsubishi Electric has been manufacturing precision-engineered, highly reliable uninterruptible power supplies for businesses since 1964 - and solving the challenges of critical facilities in the United States since 1985. Don't let a data center outage leave your business in the dark.
The cost of downtime can be detrimental to a business, with a one-hour outage costing an average of $700,000 in 20191. Since 2019, the percentage of outages costing more than $1M has more than doubled. According to the Uptime Institute, several outages in 2022 had cost more than $150M2. The cost of an outage can also be significantly affected by a business’s nature, size, and utilization of IT.
Energy and Brokerage Firms, for example, are estimated to lose $2.8M and $6.5M, respectively, from one hour of downtime. British Airways and Delta Airlines estimate that losses they incurred from outages due to critical power infrastructure failures were staggering at $130M and $150M, respectively1.
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 outages3, 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.
As data centers are relied upon more heavily in corporate IT, reports of outages are becoming more frequent and preventing or reducing downtime is becoming more essential. In 2019, 51% of all outages lasted longer than 4 hours. With server and data center outages on the rise, again in 2020, 82% of all outages lasted longer than 4-hours4.
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.
