Midnight 11:59 pm
Failure
3:00 pm
• A failure occurs at 3pm
• How old is my data?
• Did the backups run correctly?
This is your Recovery Point
RPORecovery Point Objective
RTORecovery Time Objective
15 hours?
39 hours?
• How Long until I fix the problem?
• How long until I can restore from tape?
• How long until users are back on?
This is your Recovery Time
MidnightThe day before
Recovery Point + Recovery Time = your REAL downtime
RPO vs RTODETERMINE RPO & RTO REQUIREMENTS

Unplanned Downtime80% of unplanned downtime is due to people & process problems
Natural Disasters
Hardware Failures
UNDERSTANDING DOWNTIME & AVAILABILITY
Planned DowntimeRoutine Maintenance to databases, applications, or systems
Operating System Upgrades

AAA LIFE – FOCUS ON DOWNTIME
Focused on Natural Disaster• Existing Data Center had Limitations• Fire Protection was a Concern
Licensing for High Availability Environment• Temporary Licensing vs Permanent• AAA Life’s Approach

Know your downtime costs per hour, day,
week, etc.
Other ExpensesTemporary Employees,
Equipment rental, overtime costs, extra shipping costs, travel expenses,
legal obligations
FINANCIAL IMPACT – COST OF DOWNTIME
Financial Performance• Revenue Recognition• Cash Flow• Lost Discounts (A/P)• Payment Guarantees• Stock Price
Revenue• Direct Loss• Compensatory Payments• Lost Future Revenue• Billing Losses
Damaged Reputation• Customers• Suppliers• Financial Markets• Banks• Business Partners
Productivity# of employees affected X hours out times X burdened hourly rates

Shrinking Backup WindowsE-business and supply chain processes put significant pressure on backup windows.
Global Systems & ComputingAccess to critical data from anywhere in the world improves collaboration and enables faster, more informed decisions. Such dependence requires continuous access to information and applications; therefore the impact of downtime will be enormous.
Considering Server ConsolidationServer, storage, and data center consolidation projects drive down IT and application costs, but with fewer points of failure a consolidated environment poses a greater downtime risk.
SIGNS THAT DOWNTIME MAY BE A THREAT
