80% of mission-critical application disruptions arecaused by ‘soft’ failuresGartner Group

93% of companies that lose use of theirdata center for 10 days or more file forbankruptcy.NARA

Average cost of downtime (for largeorganizations) is $1,010,536Meta Group

Most companies maintain 98% availability(not including scheduled downtime) or174 hours are lost each yearGartner Group

$42,000 per hour is lost in productivity fora single mission critical applicationGartner Group


Test Question:How Do You Define“High Availability”?


Availability = Uptime

Update + Downtime

Downtime = Time to Detect + Time to Recover


“My application crashes about once a year. Usually mycustomers are the first to see the problem. After we arenotified, we generally have the problem fixed within the hour”

Availability = 365 * 24 * 60

(365 * 24 * 60) + 80

Downtime = 20 minutes + 60 minutes

Availability = 0.9998478161619236 (3 Nines)


“My application crashes about once a year. Because it isprotected, the problem is detected immediately and is alwaysrecovered in under a minute. We generally don’t even knowthere was a problem due to the automatic recovery.”

Availability = 365 * 24 * 60

(365 * 24 * 60) + 1

Downtime = 30 sec + 30 sec

Availability = 0.9999980974161008 (5 Nines)
