High Availability: How It Works and Why It's Important
Spanning, March 21st, 2023
In today's digital economy, where organizations increasingly rely on their IT infrastructure to deliver services 24/7/365, downtime is a nightmare.
Recently, one of the Big Tech companies lost $100 million in revenue and drove millions of its users to its competitor due to a few hours of outage. For small and midsize businesses (SMBs) with limited budgets and resources, it gets worse. Prolonged downtime can be a death knell for SMBs, forcing them out of business.
One of the most efficient ways to mitigate the risk of downtime is by ensuring the high availability of your IT infrastructure and systems. While it is nearly impossible to do away with downtime completely, implementing the tenets of high availability will ensure that your network remains functional in the event of an outage or IT disruption.
