Outage reporting
SAP data centers maintain multiple connections to several power companies, making a complete power outage highly unlikely. Even if the local power grid were to fail, the data centers supporting your SAP Cloud solution have an uninterruptible power supply for short-term outages, and a diesel generator backup power supply for longer-term outages. Therefore, power interruptions or outages are unlikely to affect customer data or solution access.
