80% of mission-critical application disruptions are
caused by ‘soft’ failures
Gartner Group             Average cost of downtime (for large
                            organizations) is $1,010,536
                            Meta Group
Most companies maintain 98% availability
(not including scheduled downtime) or
174 hours are lost each year
Gartner Group
                  $42,000 per hour is lost in productivity for
                  a single mission critical application
                  Gartner Group

 93% of companies that lose use of their
 data center for 10 days or more file for
 bankruptcy.

Test Question:
How Do You Define
“High Availability”?


      © 2010 SIOS Technology   3
Uptime
     Availability =
                        Update + Downtime




Downtime = Time to Detect + Time to Recover




                © 2010 SIOS Technology       4
“My application crashes about once a year. Usually my
customers are the first to see the problem. After we are
notified, we generally have the problem fixed within the hour”




      Downtime = 20 minutes + 60 minutes

                                  365 * 24 * 60
       Availability =
                            (365 * 24 * 60) + 80

 Availability = 0.9998478161619236 (3 Nines)
                        © 2010 SIOS Technology               5
“My application crashes about once a year. Because it is
protected, the problem is detected immediately and is always
recovered in under a minute. We generally don’t even know
there was a problem due to the automatic recovery.”




          Downtime = 30 sec + 30 sec

                                  365 * 24 * 60
       Availability =
                             (365 * 24 * 60) + 1

  Availability = 0.9999980974161008 (5 Nines)

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. In this session SIOS will cover a new SugarCRM offering for High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR), leveraging the benefits of cloud computing. Take advantage of cloud as your real-time failover instead of investing in expensive on-premise HA or DR server clusters. In this session you will learn about: * Cloud Security * High Availability via the Cloud * Disaster Recovery via the Cloud * Public Cloud use-cases * Deploying SugarCRM HA/DR * Application Monitoring &amp; Real-time data replication If you have mission-critical applications and associated business data, can you afford not to have a clear business continuity plan? And if you have a plan, can you afford not to consider the benefits of cloud computing such as: opex vs. capex, flexibility, time-to-market, and efficiency of resources?
  2. OK. So lets talk about that disruptive technology I eluded to earlier. But first I want to ask the following multiple-choice question: “ How Does Your Organization Define ‘Downtime’”?
  3. So since we are talking about availability, I thought it would be important to define exactly what I mean. Below is what has been termed the “Availability Equation”.
  4. 525600
  5. 525600
  6. That’s why SIOS has been successful in protecting over 15,000 mission-critical applications around the world with its award-winning business continuity solutions, AND WHY Sugar chose us to ENABLE “HA For SugarCRM” Now you can achieve 5 nines of availability with installations of SugarCRM Pro and other Enterprise applications when they are deployed in-house AND as you transition them into the cloud. Protect your business with: Application &amp; Database Monitoring Automated Failover Real-time Data Replication with Recovery Point Rewind (if you have a database corruption, replicating it won’t help you). Automated Cloud HA/DR Deployment &amp; Management (with an integrated SugarCRM offering) Automated Workload Migration (to reduce manual errors)
  7. If you want to see more…. … whether you’re a channel partner who wants to appreciate how this can provide you incremental business, … or you are a customer who wants to understand how you can protect your enterprise’s critical assets for less than the cost of 2 hours of your admin staff’s time each month, … ..we’re in Booth 201 and we’re giving a talk today at 1:30pm. Notes - HA For SugarCRM Costs: $10/seat/mth x 25 users = $250/mth Notes - IT Costs in Hours: Avg salary: $102K High-end: $162K (someone who understands business continuity) Fully loaded $162K (1.5x)=$243K=$117/hr $250 = 2 hours of admin time. http://www.cbsalary.com/salary_chart.aspx?edu=&amp;sid=CA&amp;cty=palo%2balto&amp;jn=&amp;tid=249423&amp;kw=Information%2bTechnology&amp;specialty=Information%2bTechnology%2bAdministrator%2b%28IT%2bAdministrator%29&amp;ns=1
