The Cost of Unplanned Outages

Disaster recovery and preparedness are not just routine considerations; they’re at the forefront of operational strategy here at NJFX. This shift is driven by the increasing prevalence of natural disasters, technological mishaps, and unforeseen incidents. In today’s world, the average cost of unplanned outages for companies now surpasses $16,000 per minute. Such a staggering figure not only emphasizes the financial burden but also highlights the heightened risks of exposing sensitive data and incurring substantial revenue losses. This reality underscores the imperative for businesses to adopt and refine robust disaster recovery plans, ensuring resilience in the face of these challenges.

Identifying and Addressing Network Vulnerabilities

Understanding the various factors that contribute to network vulnerabilities is crucial. These factors can range from increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters, the risk of planned attacks on infrastructure, evolving cybersecurity threats, and the complexities of maintaining service during unforeseen disruptions. Addressing these challenges is essential for ensuring robust and resilient network operations.

Addressing these critical points of failure, NJFX presents a compelling solution with its state-of-the-art 64,000-square-foot facility. Equipped with direct fiber network connections and backup generators supported by Uninterruptible Power Service (UPS), NJFX sets a new standard in carrier-grade network interconnections, strategically located outside any major U.S. city.
