Why is uptime an important parameter to be monitored? This results in unintended business interruptions amounting to millions of dollars in losses for organizations around the world every year. Unplanned events: This refers to sudden outages that occur due to unforeseen circumstances such as system failures, distributed denial-of-service attacks, human errors, improper resource allocation, and more. This causes almost no impact on overall business productivity. This includes network troubleshooting, hardware and software installation, updating device configuration, running compliance checks, network scaling, and more. Planned events: This is when the IT team intentionally takes down the network to complete important tasks that need to be performed to keep the network up and running. Network outages fall into two primary categories: planned events and unplanned events. This doesn't leave much room for error, especially considering networks can become unavailable for a number of reasons. 99.999 percent uptime is the most practical alternative to aim for, which translates to a meager 5.25 minutes of network unavailability per year. The ideal uptime of a network is 100 percent, which is very hard to achieve due to several limiting factors. Uptime of network devices for any time frame can be calculated using this formula: uptime = (duration of device unavailability)/(total time frame). Uptime denotes the duration or percentage of time that a particular device or an IT system remains operational.
