Data Centers at Peak Performance with eMaint CMMS

Costs of outages are increasing: The average cost of a data center outage has gone from $505k in 2010 to $740k in 2016. That is $8,851 A MINUTE. 88% of these unplanned outages are caused by human or technical error, and only 12% are weather related.
