We’ve Got A Serverdown: The impact of server downtime on your business

What Does It Mean?

A server down time happens when your business website or app like a blog, ecommerce store, media portal, etc. all of a sudden becomes unavailable to the thousands, if not millions of customers/visitors you have – for reasons unknown to you.

Reasons Why Servers Go Down

Network Failure

Software Failure

Human Error

Natural Disasters

Cost of a Server Downtime

The Impact of Server Downtime

• Sales: Your customers/visitors can’t access your website which means that they can’t buy anything
• Productivity: Your employees in a server-based workforce can’t work
• Data: Data may be corrupted or lost due to downtime
• Time: Without a dependable contingency plan, a lot of time is spent in sorting out the issues
• Reputation: A lengthy downtime can take a toll on your business or brand’s reputation
• Satisfaction: Unable to buy from you, returning customers will be unhappy

Can You Survive The Ordeal & The Cost?

Among companies that have suffered downtime, an average of 7% say that their survival would be at risk after only an hour of downtime. Only 6% of businesses are said to survive a severe data loss.

How Can You Prevent A Server Downtime?

• Schedule regular backups for your data
• Ensure that power is reliable to avoid power outages
• Have a high quality, high speed internet connection
• Invest in a reliable network host
• Monitor your usage at all times to predict and avoid any overloads
• Use iron-clad anti-malware, hack, firewall and security protocols
• Maintain your patch management
• Educate and train your staff to use these methods
• Plan agile contingency, intrusion, and prevention procedures where the focus isn’t on data recovery, but on never losing it in the first place.
