Cutting Your Downtime: High Availability, Failsafe Solutions
There’s one phrase we hear from clients time and time again: “Our system cannot go down.” We do not take these words lightly. Our High Availability, Failsafe Solutions ensure that you receive the level of protection you need in a package that fits your budget. If your company has been struggling with downtime, data backup failure or other network issues, we can help.
A Consultative Approach
Our consultative approach means we take the time to understand each client’s unique technology needs. From there, we develop custom solutions that work within your budget. Our team spends a significant amount of time educating every client on the options that are available. There is an important difference between 99.9 percent availability and 99.999 percent availability, and we work to understand the implications of your current downtime issues to find a solution that maximizes your business and your budget.
The Aircraft Philosophy
Aircraft manufacturers know that mechanical components will sometimes fail. To plan for these potential disasters, they achieve 99.999 percent reliability by making all critical functions redundant, so when parts do fail, the aircraft continues to operate normally, and the passengers are unaware that a failure even occurred. We help you using this same philosophy. If we can understand your most important components, we can work to build a solution that keeps you flying high – and keeps your customers unaffected and unaware of downtime.
Solutions By the Numbers
Take a look at this chart that illustrates availability regarding downtime per week and month. To most, 99 percent may not sound very different from 99.999 percent, but when it comes to finding a high-availability solution that works with your budget, it is important to break things down into real time.
| Availability % | Downtime per Month | Downtime per Week |
| 90% (one nine) | 72 hours | 16.8 hours |
| 99% (two nines) | 7.20 hours | 1.68 hours |
| 99.9% (three nines) | 43.2 minutes | 10.1 minutes |
| 99.99% (four nines) | 4.32 minutes | 1.01 minutes |
| 99.999% (five nines) | 25.9 seconds | 6.05 seconds |
| 99.999% (six nines) | 2.59 seconds | 0.605 seconds |
