power INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT
Can your power infrastructure support what's next?
The Focus Group Technologies Power Infrastructure Assessment provides an independent, evidence-based review of the UPS systems, batteries, rack power distribution and monitoring supporting your IT environment.
We assess current capacity, runtime, resilience and equipment lifecycle, then determine whether the environment can support planned infrastructure changes, higher-density workloads or future growth.

Understanding the Power Infrastructure Assessment
The Focus Group Technologies Power Infrastructure Assessment provides an independent, evidence-based review of the UPS systems, batteries, rack power distribution and monitoring supporting your server room or small data centre. We assess current capacity, runtime, resilience, equipment lifecycle and future readiness to determine whether your environment can reliably support planned infrastructure changes, higher-density workloads and future growth.
The outcome is a practical roadmap that identifies risks, validates infrastructure capability and provides clear recommendations before you invest in new infrastructure, critical upgrades or major technology projects.
WHEN TO CONSIDER A POWER INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT
When Is a Power Infrastructure Assessment the Right Choice?
A Power Infrastructure Assessment is most valuable before significant infrastructure changes are made. Whether you're modernising your server room, deploying higher-density workloads or simply questioning whether your existing environment can support future demands, the assessment provides the evidence needed to make informed decisions.
Rather than relying on assumptions, you'll understand your current capacity, runtime, resilience and future readiness before investing in new infrastructure or critical upgrades.
Any one of these scenarios can indicate it's time for a Power Infrastructure Assessment. Focus Group Technologies combines technical analysis with practical infrastructure planning to help you understand your current environment, reduce risk and confidently plan what's next.
What's Included in the Assessment
Every Power Infrastructure Assessment reviews the critical components supporting your server room or small data centre. We assess capacity, resilience and future readiness to identify risks, validate infrastructure capability and provide practical recommendations before your next infrastructure project.
The Assessment Covers
- UPS System
- Batteries Run Time
- Rack Power Distribution
- Monitoring & Visibility
- Resilience & Risk
- Future Readiness
OUR METHODOLOGY
Our Assessment Process
Every Power Infrastructure Assessment follows a structured methodology designed to minimise disruption while delivering a clear understanding of your current environment. From discovery through to recommendations, every stage is evidence-based and focused on helping you make informed infrastructure decisions with confidence.
Discovery & Assessment
We begin by understanding your business objectives, current server room environment and planned infrastructure changes. Our specialists then assess the UPS systems, batteries, rack power distribution and monitoring supporting your critical IT infrastructure to establish a clear picture of your current capability.
Analysis & Recommendations
We evaluate the findings against current capacity, runtime, resilience and future infrastructure requirements before developing practical recommendations. The assessment concludes with an executive presentation that explains the findings, identifies key risks and provides a prioritised roadmap for future improvements.
Every recommendation is based on the evidence gathered from your environment, ensuring the outcome aligns with your operational requirements, resilience goals and future plans.
THE VALUE OF THE ASSESSMENT
Know Exactly Where Your Power Infrastructure Stands
Investing in power infrastructure isn't simply about replacing ageing equipment or increasing UPS capacity. It's about understanding whether your environment can reliably support business-critical systems today and future infrastructure requirements tomorrow.
The Focus Group Technologies Power Infrastructure Assessment provides the clarity needed to make informed decisions. By combining technical analysis, operational evidence and practical recommendations, you'll understand exactly where your environment stands and what should happen next.
By the End of the Assessment, You'll Know...
- Can our current UPS infrastructure support future growth?
- Do we have sufficient runtime during a power outage?
- Which components present the greatest operational risk?
- Where are the single points of failure in our environment?
- Which infrastructure should be prioritised for upgrade or replacement?
- What should our roadmap look like over the next 12–36 months?
Every recommendation is supported by technical evidence, infrastructure analysis and practical assessment findings, giving your team the confidence to prioritise investment and strengthen business resilience.

POWER INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about the Power Infrastructure Assessment? Here are answers to some of the most common questions organisations ask before assessing their UPS systems, power capacity and critical infrastructure.
Is a Power Infrastructure Assessment only for organisations replacing their UPS?
The most common VMware alternatives being evaluated by Australian organisations include Nutanix AHV, Microsoft Hyper-V with Azure Local, and Proxmox VE. Each platform offers different advantages depending on infrastructure requirements, existing skillsets, operational models and long-term business objectives.
What does the assessment actually include?
The assessment reviews UPS systems, batteries, runtime, rack power distribution, monitoring, resilience and overall infrastructure readiness. The outcome is an evidence-based report identifying risks, current capability and recommended next steps.
How long does a Power Infrastructure Assessment take?
The timeframe depends on the size and complexity of your environment. Most assessments are completed over several days, followed by a presentation of findings and practical recommendations.
Will I receive recommendations for new equipment?
Recommendations are based on the technical evidence gathered during the assessment. In some cases, the assessment may confirm that your existing infrastructure is sufficient. In others, it may identify upgrades or lifecycle replacements that should be prioritised.
Can the assessment identify single points of failure?
Yes.
The assessment identifies resilience risks including ageing UPS systems, battery health, insufficient runtime, power distribution limitations and other infrastructure issues that could affect business continuity.
Is this assessment suitable for small server rooms as well as data centres?
No.
The assessment is designed to minimise operational disruption. Most activities involve reviewing infrastructure, configuration, capacity and documentation, with minimal impact on production systems.
Will the assessment disrupt our business?
Yes.
The assessment is designed for server rooms, communications rooms and small to medium enterprise data centres where reliable power infrastructure is essential to business operations.
How do I know if my UPS has enough runtime?
Many organisations don’t know their actual runtime until they experience a power outage. A Power Infrastructure Assessment evaluates UPS capacity, battery condition and expected runtime against your current critical IT load, helping determine whether your environment can support the required business continuity objectives.
