A comprehensive service to assess the power quality
and availability of the electrical infrastructure
supporting a network environment. |
|
The PowerAudit® Service
is a power quality analysis focused on examining the electrical
infrastructure of your building. This service is designed to
increase the overall availability of your computing system.
APC's PowerAudit service is performed by APC Certified Power
Quality Engineers.
APC PowerAudit ensures unmatched reliability
and uptime |
 |
The electrical infrastructure of your building is the foundation
upon which you run all of your information technology equipment.
With proper planning, bad power and
power-related infrastructure problems can be avoided. A
comprehensive site analysis of your electrical distribution can
pinpoint the causes of costly systems failures.

The APC PowerAudit analyzes your electrical infrastructure and
determines its impact on your core business. PowerAudit can be
used to evaluate a facility in a proactive manner, or to
identify and correct existing anomalies.

"The PowerAudit really opened our eyes. It
uncovered a number of cable bends without wire harnesses that were
affecting network speed, a tranformer that was not grounded, a
neutral-to-ground bend in the electrical panel, and the cause of
some annoying network transmission problems in the CEO's office:
loose data cables running across flourescent bulbs. With untested
wiring in the new building and a network that needed to come
online quickly, we felt APC's PowerAudit could help us identify
and prevent any potential power problems. We recommend APC because
we realized early on that APC services are competitive, reliable
and state of the art," said Scott Davidson, Manager of
Development and Operations, Sarcom.

Building a highly available network |
|
Whether you are installing a new network or migrating from one
topology or operating system to another, examination of the basic
wiring and grounding on-site should be the first step.
When conducting a PowerAudit, APC Power Quality
Engineers survey the electrical distribution infrastructure
and analyze wiring, grounding and the conformity to both the National
Electric Code (NEC) and the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) specifications.
The Power Quality Engineers then make a predicative analysis of
equipment performance and company susceptibility to power-related
anomalies. All findings are documented in a full-length power
infrastructure report.

The APC PowerAudit provides you with the peace of mind you need to
get on with the business of providing your users, customers and
partners with the uptime they demand.
