Data Centers and the Risk of Power Outages.

The cost of data center power outages is on the rise, according to a recent analysis by the Ponemon Institute. The group, which polled 63 data center organizations in the U.S. that had experienced an outage in the past 12 months, estimates the full costs associated with unplanned outages at data centers within The 2016 Cost of Data Center Outages report. The benchmark study, originally published in 2010 then updated in 2013 and again in 2016, found that the price of downtime continues to climb, with the average outage cost rising 38 percent over the past five years. Among the publication’s other key findings:

• The average total cost per minute of an unplanned outage increased from $5,617 in 2010 to $7,908 in 2013 to a current price tag of $8,851
• The average cost of a data center outage rose from $505,502 in 2010 to $690,204 in 2013 to $740,357 in the latest study, representing a 38 percent increase in the cost of downtime
• Maximum downtime costs are rising faster than average, increasing 81 percent since 2010 to a current high of $2,409,991
• UPS system failure, including UPS and batteries, is the No. 1 cause of unplanned data center outages, accounting for one-quarter of all such events
• Cybercrime represents the fastest growing cause of data center outages, accounting for 2 percent of outages in 2010, 18 percent in 2013 and now 22 percent of those polled in the latest downtime study
