Skeleton Blog Data Center Backup Power: What You Need To Know

In today’s AI-driven world, finding reliable backup power systems is a major challenge for industries like data centers. By 2050, it’s expected that electricity will lead the way as the primary energy source, making up over 70% of our needs in the future. As renewable energy production continues to rise, data centers are facing increasing risks from power outages, short circuits, peak demand spikes, and also constantly growing security threats. The data center industry plays a particularly critical role in today's world economy, where reliable power supply without interruption is needed because power cuts and downtimes lead to financial losses, which significantly affects the company's operations and reputation. Downtime can cost data centers tens of thousands of euros per minute and, in the worst cases, up to a million euros per hour. Ludovico Barro Savonuzzi, Head of Application Engineering, shares why it's essential for data centers to invest in reliable backup power systems. In this article, he highlights the benefits of integrating SuperBattery into data centers operations to ensure consistent energy and maximum reliability.
