PowerAudit®
Power problems are the "Achilles heel" of a LAN/WAN

Do you experience more systems downtime than you should? What is the impact of systems availability on your customers? It costs you plenty of money to get those customers. Downtime is the fastest way to lose them. Loss of systems availability costs companies thousands of dollars every day. Maybe millions if you're big and your partners are constantly accessing your systems.

You've done everything you could do to increase uptime: upgraded your software, integrated new systems, instituted process improvement - yet your overall results are still unsatifactory. Mysterious reboots, lockups, lost communications and hardware damage continue to plague your operations.

It's time to think about taking a serious look at power-related problems in your building. According to Contingency Planning Research, a Division of Eagle Rock Alliance, Ltd., power is the number one cause of downtime (over 45%) in US corporations. Yet power problems can manifest themselves in many different ways, from subtle computer lockups to burnt hardware components and ultimately, to damaged data integrity. The most significant cause of these symptoms - bad power - can be avoided with some planning. APC's PowerAudit®, a comprehensive, whole-site analysis of the electrical distribution infrastructure, can pinpoint the cause of these costly systems failures.
