#2. Down Time

“I just experienced my 3rd power outage this month and my server is fried. I was told that it will be 3-4 days until I am up and running again.”

Issue #2 - Down TimeHave you had so many power outages that your server no longer functions as it should? If your server can’t operate, that affects the productivity of you and your staff. When your server goes down, you also risk the chance of significant data loss.

The owner of Roy Thompson stated how his company is impacted every time their server goes down:

“Every time we go down I lose at least $2,000 a day [in business]. Who knows how much it would be if I added it all up, including the amount of time it takes me and my employees to go back to business as usual afterward. It’s painful to say the least”
