APC Delivers for Arthur Andersen

As a result of continuous growth, Arthur Andersen’s attempts to match existing UPS systems with multiple computers added com-

plexity to systems operations. To deal with the issue, Arthur Andersen decided to bring in a nation-

wide power quality consultant with expertise with multiple UPS manufacturers and

was called upon to recommend a high quality solution. After an extensive

review, the firm recommended that Arthur Andersen invest in three 16 kVA

APC Symmetra Power Arrays. By consolidating all protection into larger

facility-sized systems, Arthur Andersen still maintained the flexibility

and control they needed with actually less total UPS capacity than

with a fragmented approach. The APC Symmetra systems offered

a solution which provided parallel redundancy, room for future

growth, and the four hour runtime required by Arthur Andersen.

“Our network consists of over 30 Compaq servers and a back-

bone of Cisco routers and hubs,” said Bill Cope, Network

Analyst “Our servers (protected by Symmetra) are essential to

our tax, audit and business consulting practices. When the tax

practice is without computers, $35,000 per hour in revenue and

production is lost. And that number does not even include the

other groups within Arthur Andersen that need computers to

serve their clients. Our servers are crucial to the success of our

business. We are a 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week operation.

We need APC Symmetra to help us keep our platform stable.”

Regarding payback, Cope asserts “if we experience an outage

of three hours or more, then the (Symmetra) equipment will pay

for itself in one event.”

“The Houston office of Arthur Andersen has now established

an internal best practice for UPS systems with the imple-

mentation of APC’s Symmetra,”

Steve Blanding, Director of Technology,

Arthur Andersen, Houston, Texas
