Vision iTera HA

Don't Confuse Reliability with High Availability

The IBM System i platform is one of the most reliable computing platforms in the industry. With over 99% uptime, many customers have to ask themselves:

"Why do I need high availability when my system is always up?

IBM States that when you are looking at downtime on the System i, that 90% is due to planned events.This would include activities such as:

• Back-ups and System Saves
• IBM OS Upgrades
• Hardware and Software Upgrades
• Systems Migrations

IBM also states that 9% of downtime is due to unplanned events. This would include power outages, and hardware failures. And then 1% of downtime or less is due to actual disasters.

Whether it is planned, unplanned, or disaster related downtime; this all has a cost to your business that is either a temporary or permanent cost.
