Regulatory Impact on Contingency Planning

 

New laws and regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II and HIPPA are causing planners to develop the most comprehensive prevention contingency plans possible. Although they differ in scope, the new laws & regulations generally intend to make management more accountable for a range of business activities.


In order to comply, business leaders employ many forms of specialized technology to secure the handling, storage and safety of data. These technologies target solutions for specific problems such as the elimination of data breaks or losses, ensuring constant access to data, guarantying data integrity and securing data confidentiality.


Although technologies employed may differ dramatically, they all depend on a single fundamental resource in order to function; a reliable power source. To ensure reliable power, businesses invest in UPS technology to provide the first line of defense against short everyday power disturbances or longer interruptions. Unfortunately many planners think their plans are complete once the UPS is powered up and available.


Many unsuspecting planners are unaware of the risks that weak or faulty UPS power batteries pose to their plans. They have little understanding of how everyday power disturbances still have the potential to corrupt data, interrupt networks and shut down critical systems because of weak or faulty UPS power batteries.


BTECH Technology provides early detection of impending power battery failure thereby insuring UPS power is available to cover all contingencies. BTECH Technology also helps identify power disturbance trends and battery temperature conditions that directly impact on UPS power battery life and reliability.


Daily power glitches and outright power failures are a fact of life and the key consideration that drives your investment in mission critical UPS power conditioning & backup systems. Now you can be sure your UPS power batteries will work to support vital applications, critical systems and networks during the many everyday power disturbances and outright power failures each business is almost certain to experience.


For over 17 years, high volume data centers, vital military bases and high visibility government agencies have utilized BTECH predictive technology. Now, Business Contingency planners from all segments of business, education and government are discovering and incorporating BTECH technology into their plans.
