This service identifies the potential vulnerabilities and threats to your
business information systems that might be caused in the event of a power
failure, surge or brown out. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is a battery
device that most commonly sits beside a computer or server and provides
emergency power in the event of a power disruption.
When a disruption occurs the UPS provides enough power to enable the
orderly shut down of the computing system. If a system is not powered
down correctly there is potential risk of data corruption.
Objective
To identify critical systems and their associated functions necessary
to the business operations and ensure that adequate emergency power is
available. Each server and all critical systems must have enough power
to properly sustain the hardware for a defined minimum time.
Approach
During this engagement, our consultants will perform an Uninterruptible
Power Supply Assessment to identify critical systems and ensure they are
adequately protected. For existing UPS systems a complete evaluation will
be performed to ensure that systems currently in place provide sufficient
run time in case of a power failure.
Our services include:
- Obtaining knowledge of your business, general systems information
and areas deemed critical to continuing operations.
- An Uninterruptible Power Supply Assessment to determine UPS requirements
and validate those systems currently in place.
- Maintenance policy assessment to confirm battery quality and routine
testing practices.
- A report outlining critical systems and validation that they are
adequately protected.
- Should the assessment indicate a new purchase, upgrade, or service
related issue, Global Data Vaulting can create and manage a Request
for Proposal (RFP) engagement.
Business Results
At the end of this engagement, you will have an objective, independent,
expert analysis of your current or required UPS needs to adequately protect
your business information systems. In the event of a power interruption,
surge or brown-out; systems protected by properly maintained UPS systems
will provide enough power to enable the orderly shut down of the computing
system.
