Outages Cost You More Than You Think – Real-Time Failover to the Rescue
The High Cost of Downtime
Unplanned IT outages can be devastating for businesses, resulting in lost revenue, operational disruption, and damaged customer trust. According to Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), the average business loses $12,900 per minute during an unplanned outage, with large enterprises facing even steeper losses of $23,750 per minute.
In today’s interconnected business environment, real-time failover is a critical safeguard against these disruptions. By ensuring instant, automatic switching to a backup connection, businesses can maintain productivity, protect revenue, and deliver seamless customer experiences.
The Importance of Real-Time Failover Solutions
Network failures can result from natural disasters, cyberattacks, hardware malfunctions, or human error—and their impact is becoming increasingly severe. According to the Uptime Institute, the minimum cost of a network outage now exceeds $100,000, more than doubling from $39,000 in 2019.
Beyond financial losses, outages disrupt manufacturing, supply chains, cloud applications, and business communications, leading to productivity declines and missed opportunities. Perhaps most critically, frequent, or prolonged downtime erodes customer trust and damages brand reputation. A Trilio report found that 40% of businesses experienced reputational harm due to service interruptions.
To mitigate these risks, businesses need an automated failover system that can instantly switch to a backup connection without human intervention or service disruption.
