From my understanding there is a 99.97% up time value that most companies try
and match. Is this a hard and fast rule or is this a value that we all try
and emulate as best as we can? Do I have the value incorrect? Is it higher
or lower? I had always thought that it was 99.97% but have not found
anywhere to reference that figure, it was just via talking with others and
checking available uptime statistics. My understanding also takes into
account that it does not include controlled downtime due to any maintenances.
Any thoughts?
Kim
