How Do UPS Batteries Help To Maintain Business Continuity?

Take a moment to imagine how damaging the implications would be if your business experienced a sudden loss in power.

Long term power outages are bad news, but even a five minute interruption can affect your company’s performance, reputation and security of data.

To protect your business, an uninterruptible power supply, containing UPS batteries can ensure that during a power failure, you can continue to operate as normal without any downtime.

Let’s find out how.

The Power of UPS Batteries

Without utilising a UPS with good quality standby batteries, when the power goes down it stays down until the problem is fixed and resolved.

In contrast, if UPS batteries are in operation, they will take over from the mains supply instantaneously if the power fails. Once it returns to normal, the mains will take over again and the UPS batteries will charge back to their full state. This means that they will be fully charged and ready in the event that another power outage occurs in the future.

Whilst in use, a UPS will maintain a clean power supply so that your telecoms, IT servers, computer networks and security systems can continue to run sufficiently.

The same process applies with Cloud computing too, as there are still batteries installed in large three phase UPS, in place to power servers for your business’ hosted infrastructure. For extra security, large data centres will often run an N+1 UPS arrangement, meaning an additional UPS will be in place to ensure power supply even if the first UPS fails.

The Risks

Losing power in your business premises can be a catastrophe. Alongside the financial implications, customer service satisfaction levels can decrease if you fail to sustain communication with them.

You also run the risk of losing data, experiencing a decrease in staff productivity and damaging business relationships for the future.

A disaster recovery plan, incorporating the use of UPS systems, will ensure that risks such as these are eliminated across the board.

The Benefits of Business Continuity

With UPS systems in place your business can take advantage of a wide range of benefits, including:

1) Improved profitability

2) Increased employee productivity

3) Protection of customer, client and staff data

4) Continuous communication with business contacts both internal and external

5) Avoidance of downtime and long term recovery cycles

Although these are just a handful of the advantages, it’s important that you evaluate your existing setup and make sure you have the correct amount of UPS batteries to protect your business.

If a major power fault or outage does ever strike and you have the luxury of continuing to work without disruption, you’ll appreciate the power of the UPS battery.
