HNREL01-BP01 Implement redundant power infrastructure
Deploy dual power feeds, redundant uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, and backup generators for all critical network equipment. Regularly test and maintain power systems to ensure continuous operation during outages.
Desired outcome: Sustain on-premises operations and prevent downtime during power failures.
Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: High
Benefits of establishing this best practice:
-
Avoid unexpected outages due to power disruptions
-
Supports continuous network connectivity to cloud
-
Satisfies disaster recovery and business continuity requirements
-
Prevents a single-point power failure
Implementation guidance
-
Use dual utility or grid power where available
-
Maintain redundant UPS and generator systems
-
Schedule and document periodic power failover drills
