Understanding the severity of such situations will make us more aware<br />

of the need for protection, even in countries like Singapore where most<br />

people tend to take our stable electricity supply sources for granted.<br />

We’ve seen unfortunate situations happen in such developed countries -<br />

the last major power failure in Singapore on 29 June 2004 is estimated<br />

to have cost businesses some S$6 million in losses. According to a study<br />

conducted by researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in<br />

2005, electric power outages and blackouts cost America around $80<br />

billion annually.<br />

Countries like Bangladesh, Sri<br />

Lanka, Pakistan and India are<br />

constantly plagued by power<br />

outages due to the insufficient<br />

supplies of electricity and the high<br />

cost of power generation.<br />

Being adequately protected with<br />

the right equipment is important.<br />

When a power outage at the<br />

hosting facility for the OCBC Securities site caused the 2-hour downtime<br />

in the morning of 26 Jan 2012 in Singapore, all customer data remained<br />

protected with appropriate security measures and the trading system<br />

was fully restored within an hour after power was restored.<br />

UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) products are<br />

some of the most fail-proof options of providing<br />

protection for the operation of your critical and<br />

time sensitive applications.<br />

Depending on their power requirements, users<br />

can select the right kind of UPS products to ensure<br />

that they receive a high quality electrical supply source that adequately<br />

protects them from possible power disruptions and power spikes.<br />
