Preventing downtime is essential.

Downtime is one of the most serious challenges facing the data centre industry. The reasons include:
 

  • Financial impact: Even a minor outage can incur major costs.
  • Reputation risk: Just a few minutes can impact trust – especially for industries such as banking and healthcare.
  • Penalties: An outage can result in penalties or lost contracts.
  • Additional effects: Downtime affects not only the data centre – it also impacts apps, cloud services, enterprise clients, and end users.
