<\/a>Yesterday a so-called “Black Building Test<\/strong>” (BBT) as part of our ongoing maintenance and testing of technical systems <\/span>was <\/span>successfully<\/strong> <\/span>performed<\/span><\/strong>.
\nDuring this test we simulated a complete <\/span>blackout<\/span> of the public power supply in our data center<\/span>. In “real life” such a blackout can be caused, for instance, by works on mains electricity or through lightning strikes in high-voltage power lines – just to name a few scenarios. <\/span><\/p>\n

Precisely in order to be independent of those power failure scenarios, we have a powerful, uninterrupted power backup for our data center.<\/span><\/p>\n

The successful BB test that took place yesterday proves us, and thus our clients, continuing readiness<\/strong> of the redundantly configured UPS systems<\/strong> with appropriate batteries in our datacenter. These machines provide uninterrupted<\/strong> power to our servers during a power failure…<\/p>\n
