The IT environment today is becoming more and more complex and difficult to manage. Businesses of all sizes are far more dependent upon IT services and the infrastructure that supports them. There are a number of reasons for this, usually to do with business competitiveness. A few examples:

• The importance of web-based applications for business transactions, communication and information sharing.

• The aim to grow market share through a global presence and opportunities to tap into new markets.

• The cost of downtime to businesses, which can be as high as £9 million a minute in some verticals.

With these sorts of requirements, the importance of server uptime for most businesses is a mission-critical factor. For most companies, revenue depends on servers being “up” rather than “down” and working at maximum efficiency.

Cost reductions associated with better infrastructure management and reduced downtime that improve productivity and efficiency, fall directly to a firm’s bottom line. Because of these factors, reducing Mean-Time-To-Repair (MTTR) and Mean-Time-Between-Failure (MTBF) reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of the equipment and should be established SLA metrics in all IT departments.
