How do we measure availability? In today’s always-on environment, every second counts! Availability Downtime per Year 99% 3 days 15 hours 36 minutes 99.9% 8 hours 45 minutes 99.99% 52 minutes 36 seconds 99.999% (5 9’s) 5 minutes 15 seconds 99.9999% (6 9’s) 32 seconds Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_availability The introduction of virtualization and cloud/ITaaS into your data center requires you to deliver predictable IT service levels in an unpredictable world. At the same time, loss of data access means loss of productivity—which means lost time and money. You need highly available storage that can store and protect data for mission-critical applications with the agility required to handle the unexpected. Traditional storage vendors, and first-generation flash providers, often promote their Tier-1 storage system as delivering “five-nines,” or 99.9999 percent, uptime. But suffering any amount of lost data access can have a significant impact on your revenue, reputation, and customer satisfaction—whether those customers are internal or external.

How do you put a number on it? Real-life Examples Effects of downtime Revenue & cash flow decrease Productivity loss Compliance and/or reporting penalties Customer $ strategic partner frustration Employee dissatisfaction Reputation damage Assuming other vendors would guarantee 5 9’s (which they don’t), there’s a different of 283 seconds between 5 9s and 6 9s. What does that mean to today’s world: - Amazon would have missed out on selling over 120,500 items if they only had 5 9’s available last Christmas season (http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/26/5245008/amazon-sees-prime-spike-in-2013-holiday-season) Google, 4608 searches per second … they would have missed out on providing over 1.3M search results if they delivered 5 9’s availability What is the industry average cost of downtime? I hate answering "it depends," but that's the truth. So much depends on the organization, the industry, the duration of the downtime, the number of people impacted, etc. And not all of it is about dollars and sense. Reputation, customer retention, employee satisfaction, and overall confidence can be shaken by even a short outage. Take, for example, the New York Times' mysterious outage on August 14, 2013, of around two hours. While two hours might not seem like much, in the middle of a news-heavy weekday, it made a lasting impression. The stock dropped, twitter exploded, and the Wall Street Journal dropped their paywall to try and capture readers. In this case, I argue the biggest impact of downtime was not the drop in stock price, but the loss of confidence and loss of competitive advantage.

Get 6-Nines guarantee helps eliminate boundaries When Scale Matters Consolidate with confidence Peace of mind knowing your data will be available wherever it is stored When Performance Matters Accelerate performance critical applications 10800 When Value Matters Expand the deployment of mission critical applications 10400 7450 All-Flash Array 7400 Our approach is unique because in ONE architecture we can deliver the right solution. When value matters, when performance matters and when scale matters – This includes the 7000 models (two o them: a 7200 and a 7400) where pricing starts at $25K (US list), the 7450 for accelerated application performance taking advantage of an all flash solution, and the 10000 models (10400 and 10800) that scale to 3.2PB’s. One architecture means one OS that’s common across these platforms, one UI and Command Line so managing one model is the same as managing another and one common feature set so that the same rich set of data services is available regardless of model. By deploying any new four-node or larger HP 3PAR StoreServ 10000, 7400, or all-flash 7450 Storage system and following best practices outlined in the Get 6-Nines Guarantee Program, you get a highly available storage system with guaranteed protection for your mission-critical data.
