Does unplanned downtime of a data centre have an impact on the business results?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Data centres are essential for supporting the IT operations and applications of various businesses across different industries. Data centre downtime can have a negative impact on the business results, such as loss of revenue, customer satisfaction, productivity, reputation, and competitive advantage. According to a web search, the average cost of data centre downtime in 2020 was $8,851 per minute, and the average duration of a data centre outage was 95 minutes1. This means that a typical data centre outage could cost a business over $840,000 in direct and indirect losses1. Therefore, data centre downtime can have a significant impact on the business results, regardless of the industry or sector.

B is just wishful thinking. No one actually plans for unplanned downtime in their budget. Come on, people.

I think option B might be referring to planned maintenance downtime, not unexpected outages.

But what about option B, where it says unplanned downtime is already budgeted for?

Option C is clearly the correct answer. Downtime means lost productivity and revenue. I can't believe anyone would think it doesn't matter.
