In modern society, banking and financial services are not limited to providing traditional services (such as bank branches or ATMs). The intensive application of Internet, bank call center, online banking and mobile banking has been quite popular and recognized by customers. More and more mainstream social media are emerging in cyberspace, such as Weibo, WeChat, Instagram, etc., and the fund transfer behavior of social media is also expected to grow significantly. Therefore, both countries and individuals require continuous and uninterrupted reliable services from these industries.
In the financial industry, there are three typical applications for UPS equipment used to protect critical operations :
1. ATM power supply
Banks and financial companies must maintain many small systems that require individual power protection. Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) simply require online UPS protection to avoid possible power supply anomalies.
ATMs can be located anywhere - bank branches, office buildings, hotels, residential areas, convenience stores , etc. ATM power supply challenges are numerous.
Cost challenges include the ATM's average daily power consumption of 1 to 3 kW, as well as its ancillary equipment, routine power outages, or alternative power supply methods. ATM's infrastructural challenges include erratic public power supply - which can disrupt communication lines, shut down exchange servers and freeze screens, and result in high levels of lost transactions and customer dissatisfaction.
2. Branch automated power supply
Automation in a bank branch connects customer service counters and IT equipment in the bank's office with customer records in the bank's office. In addition to banks, branch operations of insurance institutions and security companies also require reliable backup power protection to avoid losses caused by power outages.
The power challenges faced by branch automation are manifold. Some of the infrastructure challenges also include space constraints for alternative power sources, remotely powered equipment, and harsh environments.
3. Data center power supply
The data centers that BFSI Enterprise uses to store and process data are at the heart of business operations. The data center is responsible for formulating the important tasks of the daily operation of the organization, and plays the backbone role of financial data computing, transaction system and record storage. Servers, storage, routers and switches are all critical IT equipment in the data center. The cost of downtime for critical work not being handled is significant, and the average hourly cost of downtime will increase as the BFSI department embraces automation.
Data centers in the banking and financial industries require robust emergency power systems that match the scale of their operations to maintain power for critical work in adverse environments.
Since the data center needs to process a large amount of data, it consumes a lot of power. Furthermore, all branches, ATMs and Internet banks also rely on the data center. Therefore, the high power efficiency and extreme availability of the UPS system will be the main criteria for CIOs to consider. .
