Availability (Percentage Calculation)
Availability defines the proportion of time that the system is functional and working. It can be measured as a percentage of the total system downtime over a predefined period. Availability is affected by system errors, infrastructure problems, malicious attacks, and system load.
| Availability % | Downtime per year | Downtime per month | Downtime per week | Downtime per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.97 | 10.96 days | 21.92 hours | 5.04 hours | 43.20 minutes |
| 0.98 | 7.31 days | 14.61 hours | 3.36 hours | 28.80 minutes |
| 0.998 | 17.53 hours | 87.66 minutes | 20.16 minutes | 2.88 minutes |
| 90% ("one nine") | 36.53 days | 73.05 hours | 16.80 hours | 2.40 hours |
| 95% ("one and a half nines") | 18.26 days | 36.53 hours | 8.40 hours | 1.20 hours |
| 99% ("two nines") | 3.65 days | 7.31 hours | 1.68 hours | 14.40 minutes |
| 99.5% ("two and a half nines") | 1.83 days | 3.65 hours | 50.40 minutes | 7.20 minutes |

| 99.9999% ("six nines") | 31.56 seconds | 2.63 seconds | 604.80 milliseconds | 86.40 milliseconds |
| 99.99999% ("seven nines") | 3.16 seconds | 262.98 milliseconds | 60.48 milliseconds | 8.64 milliseconds |
| 99.999999% ("eight nines") | 315.58 milliseconds | 26.30 milliseconds | 6.05 milliseconds | 864.00 microseconds |
