Uptime is important
Let’s just call “uptime”. The word comes from the English uptime and liberal understandable to the masses, means “uninterrupted work time.”
At the moment, the situation with the quality of services in terms of sustainability, quite understandable. Ono, quality, more or less equally to all carriers and nearly the size of the host. 100% machine, or real work 24 hours a day throughout the year and may not provide any. This axiom, who would not say that. Because people are people, and technology equipment. Both are sick and broken, respectively. Another problem is that if your host organization, rather than individuals, the risk that the burn, say, the hard drive, and the money is not there, reduced to zero.
True, it is necessary to note that there are breakage, which within 5 minutes will not solve anybody, especially (the case of life), if the power supply burns redurantny of intelovskogo corps on Friday at 19.00. This in a shop around the corner is not to buy. And lucky us, if there is an emergency chassis (chassis - so, roughly speaking, a set of motherboard with the case and necessary “stuffing”), all finished in a couple of hours of downtime movement of hard disks subject to a working machine. As it was with us.
Pay attention to the statement - “we had six months of 100% uptime” is not worth it. Yes, it can be so if host silent that it is only half a year and clients has 20 members. In such circumstances, provide high quality services, in general, it is not a problem. Another situation of the mid-level managers (from 500 clients and above), and even more for large. Here, too, many trusted “puzomerkam” is not hurt. Admission is straightforward (the utriruem): 10 servers available to the public we have a monitoring server, which works only provider’s site and get 100% uptime. And what we have on client servers uptime below 95%, this is not a tragedy. You, as the customer, know about it only later.
