Uptime

What does Uptime mean?

Uptime refers to the period of time during which a system or service is available and functional. It is usually specified as a percentage value, e.g. “99.99% uptime”, and is an important indicator of the reliability of IT systems. High uptime is particularly crucial in business-critical applications, as downtime can lead to loss of productivity and financial damage.

Meaning and measurement

Uptime is monitored by monitoring tools that check the availability of servers, networks and applications in real time. High uptime is achieved through the use of redundancy, load balancers and failover systems. Companies that guarantee high availability can ensure customer satisfaction and business continuity.
