| The High Cost of Downtime |
Giga Information Group® reports that 53.2% of application downtime costs companies more than $100,000 per hour. It is therefore no surprise that many companies have invested heavily in experienced IT personnel, redundant hardware, and sophisticated systems management software products. Unfortunately, in spite of these efforts, most companies still experience significant downtime and disruptions to their day-to-day business computing operations. They have not realized that as much as 80% of all downtime can be caused by:
- Lack of baseline information and documentation regarding file system links and processes that must be running.
- Chronic application bugs
- Sudden filling of disk space resources
- Changes to special system files and custom programs
And with an economic situation where IT budgets are under extreme pressure to reduce costs and improve uptime, it is imperative that new projects and technology deployments deliver immediate results and significant ROI.
