Users demand 24/7 access to ALL applications and data, and they
have no patience for downtime. CIOs are responsible for delivering a
seamless, Always-On user experience… but is this happening? No!

An average of only 1.18% of back-ups are
tested for recoverability each quarter by
organisations. Long gaps between testing
increase the chance of issues being found
when data needs to be recovered – at
which point it may be too late for these
organisations.
‘Financial’ impact is substantial
As a result, the estimated average annual
cost of downtime to enterprises can be up
to $5.5 million. Average per hour cost of one
mission-critical application downtime is a
little under $70,000.
Non-backed-up data will be lost in the event
of IT failure. The average per hour cost
of data loss, i.e. data that is proved to be
unrecoverable in the event of one critical
application downtime is over $66,000.
Damage to brand integrity (77%) and Loss of
employee confidence (70%) were the top two
‘non-financial’ results of poor availability cited.

solution, with the average timeframe for

always easy to divert precious funds to invest
on infrastructure, but there is acceptance
that this needs to be done. We are seeing
enterprises starting to realise the importance
of availability solutions and, in particular, the
role cloud and cloud-based services such as
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) can
play. Enterprises appreciate the need for an
Always-On, always-available operation and I
am confident that users will see this become
a reality sooner rather than later.”
