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 />
