We want to share a great article from The Data Center Journal regarding Data Center Maintenance and how critical it is in keep your facility up and running. It points out that lack of data center maintenance is the root cause of anywhere from a third to a half of downtime
events in the data center. It also mentions the 2011 study of data center managers conducted by Ponemon Institute and sponsored by Emerson Network Power: This study shows that on average the cost of data center downtime was approximately $5,600 per
minute, and the survey's average reported incident length of 90 minutes makes the average cost of a single downtime event to be approximately $505,000—surely that is something most data center managers cannot afford. Here is an excerpt from the article:

Would like to share an article from The DataCenter Journal  that talks about diesel generator fuel cleaning and how critical it is in regards to data center maintenance and reducing downtime in your data center - here is the article:

As we celebrate 25 years of providing mission critical services to the information technology and telecommunications markets, we would like to thank all of our customers, both past and current, who have helped us reach this significant milestone. We look forward to another 25 years of success and valuable relationships.

The need for reliable backup electric power in data centers, healthcare facilities, telecom sites and other critical facilities is too important to leave to chance. In emergency power generation applications, a gen-set must be ready to run during very critical times – to do this you need to send clean fuel to the engines. Emergency data center power generators that rely on diesel fuel are at constant risk of unexpected failure due to clogged fuel filters.

Data Centers and other critical facilities rely heavily on power to give it the ability to perform. Testing the power in your facility is something that should be done because you need to know your backup power in your data center is strong enough to handle even the heaviest of loads.
