How does the data center protect your business from unpredictable events?

Natural disasters, accidents, power outages or internet interruptions. Can such events also stop your servers? If they are located in an office environment, the answer is most likely “yes.” 

And if your company depends on the functioning of critical systems and uninterrupted access to data and files, then the data center is the best place for colocating your server equipment.  

Server protection during natural disasters and accidents

You probably can’t predict an earthquake, fire, or flood, but you greatly increase the business risk if your servers are in facilities not designed for prevention and risk minimization during such events. Even minor consequences of such events can lead to data loss and disrupted system operations with huge financial impact for your business.

Professional data centers are built to higher security standards:

• specialized fire detection and suppression systems;
• controlled humidity and temperature levels;
• earthquake-resistant design and emergency equipment.

This is a fundamental difference between an office server room and a facility designed specifically to protect your data.

Protection during power outages

One of the most common reasons for server downtime are power surges and failures in the power grid. In the office, there is often a simple UPS, which may provide backup for a few minutes or an hour at best, but this is not enough.

In data centers, power is provided at several levels:

• high-efficiency UPS systems;
• diesel generators with automatic switching;
• dual power supplies for critical equipment.

This means that even in a major power grid failure, your servers will keep running.

Disaster Recovery plans and redundancy

High-class professional data centers offer Disaster Recovery (DR) services, which guarantee businesses full recovery of operations with minimal losses, even in the event of complete server equipment failure. 

Your business should use a DR service from a provider different from the data center or office where your server equipment is located. The reasons are related to using different power and connectivity sources and, most importantly, the physical distance and location of the DR site in a different seismic zone.
