Thanks to its backup energy systems and contingency plans, Arsys maintained total continuity of its cloud services in Spain during the most significant power outage in recent years.
On Monday, April 28, Spain experienced a historic power outage that affected millions of people and numerous strategic sectors. However, amid the energy chaos, Arsys’s cloud services and critical infrastructures remained fully operational, with no interruptions, no data loss, and no degradation of service.
The company has confirmed that all systems hosted in its data center operated normally, thanks to a combination of redundant energy infrastructure, proven contingency procedures, and a highly specialized technical team.
Prepared Infrastructure, Immediate Response
Arsys’s data center is designed under high availability and security standards. Backup energy systems —which include generators and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems— were activated automatically upon detecting the supply drop, ensuring that critical loads experienced no interruptions.
“Our clients and partners have expressed their gratitude for the continuity of our services during such a critical time. That reliability is what makes the difference when everything goes dark,” say representatives from Arsys.
Cloud as Critical Infrastructure
The company reminds us that, beyond infrastructures like hospitals or water networks, cloud infrastructure has become the backbone of much of the economic and social activity. From e-commerce platforms to electronic administration applications, the continuous operation of digital services is essential for daily life today.
Arsys’s actions during the outage demonstrate that European digital sovereignty and operational resilience are compatible, and the cloud can — and must — serve as a pillar of stability in times of crisis.
People Behind the Cloud
While technology played an essential role, the company emphasizes that the true differentiating factor was its team of technical professionals, who supervised the energy transition, monitored systems in real time, and ensured that protocols were executed flawlessly.
“Reliability is not just about infrastructure: it’s also about culture, processes, and trained people who can respond to the unexpected,” explains Arsys.
Conclusion
Arsys’s operational success during the April 28 outage reaffirms the strategic role that robust and sovereign data centers play in the new digital economy. Continuity is not a promise: it is the result of decisions, investments, and accumulated experience.
In a cloud that never goes dark, there is trust, stability, and progress.
