Why this matters - The downside
- The average cost of unplanned downtime is $5,600 per minute, and the average site is down three hours a month. Or, to put it another way, you could be losing over $1M per month
- The average dissatisfied customer tells between nine and fifteen people about their bad experience, and ‘a bad experience’ can be as little as a few extra seconds’ load time
- According to a recent UC Irvine study, it takes teams nearly half an hour to get back to their previous level of productivity after a system comes back online
We could go on. But we think you get the picture: cost, reputation, internal productivity.
THE UPSIDE
Good uptime figures keep you in the red, keep your reputation sparkling and keep your own teams up and running.
But what’s the magic number? For best results, seven 9s – that’s two before the decimal and five after, for 99.99999% uptime – is recommended.
