High Availability in IT • High availability is critical in today’s IT world! • Most businesses depend on their critical applications! • “Always On” became mandatory for many companies! • Downtime impacts productivity, money and reputation!
Costof Downtime Is SAP uptime important to your business? • IT downtime causes significant damage to businesses! Source: ServiceMax, from GE Digital, commissioned Vanson Bourne to conduct a global study into unplanned downtime, “After The Fall: Cost, Causes and Consequences of Unplanned Downtime. “The Study surveyed 450 IT & field services decision makers in the UK, US, France and Germany across the manufacturing, medical, oil and gas, energy & utilities, telecoms, distribution, logistics and transportation sectors, among others.
The Main Question is: Do you need always On availability for your SAP applications? Automatic Switchover is needed! if YES: if NO: Manual Switchover is a valid Solution!
