Data Centers

Data centers are among the most power-dependent facilities in the world. Industry surveys consistently show that unplanned downtime costs large enterprises upward of $300,000 per hour, with some high-criticality environments reporting losses exceeding $1 million per hour. Power failures — including issues with utility feeds and internal distribution — are consistently identified as a leading cause of data center outages.

As the global data center market grows (valued at over $240 billion in 2024 and projected to exceed $580 billion by 2032), facilities are deploying increasingly complex power distribution architectures. The cable connections within these systems — medium-voltage splices, terminations, and switchgear interfaces — are critical reliability points that are typically only assessed during scheduled maintenance windows.

Over half of major outages cost more than $100,000, and nearly one in five exceeded $1 million. In an industry where 90% of businesses target 99.99% or greater availability, unmonitored cable connection points represent an unnecessary risk.
