No warning. No heads-up.

Picture this: It’s a busy afternoon when the power suddenly cuts out—no warning, no
time to prepare. Your servers shut down abruptly, and critical systems go offline. The
result? Potentially corrupted data, damaged hardware, and costly downtime.

Power outages are more than just inconvenient—they can cripple your business.

Why Power Outages Threaten Your Business

Outages can happen unexpectedly due to storms, equipment failures, or grid issues.
The danger isn’t just the loss of electricity—it’s what happens to your technology during
those sudden shutdowns:

● Abrupt power loss can corrupt files and databases, causing data loss
● Power surges when electricity returns can fry sensitive hardware
● Storage devices like SSDs and HDDs are vulnerable to damage
● Network interruptions disrupt communication and access to cloud services

Even brief outages can result in hours or days of downtime, negatively impacting
productivity and revenue.

The True Cost of Outages and Hardware Damage

According to Gartner, IT downtime costs an average of $5,600 per minute, for smaller
businesses, that translates to thousands of dollars lost every hour.

Beyond direct financial loss, outages cause:
● Missed deadlines and lost business opportunities
● Damaged client trust and reputation
● Increased stress and frustration among employees

Hardware damage incurs repair and replacement expenses, which can amount to tens
of thousands.
