​

Serious power outages are a part of modern life. During the most recent five-year period, these outages increased by 58%. It doesn’t take much, and the cost is enormous: tens of billions of dollars in lost revenue by commercial businesses each year, with a median loss for small businesses of $12,500 per day.

​

There are lots of reasons:

• Increasing demands on an aging power grid

• Severe weather

• Human error by utility employees

• An errant backhoe on a construction project

• Wildlife in a nearby transformer

​

Out-of-pocket losses are bad enough. But there are other costs that are harder to measure:

• Transaction data that was not backed up

• Employees who are unable to work

• Perishable goods that quickly turn to garbage and must end up in the dumpster

• Compromised security systems

• Loss of customers to competition
