According to RAX, a 2016 Ponemon Institute study found that the average cost of downtime for enterprises is $9,000 per minute. The organization also stated that business losses due to interruptions in IT services had grown in 2021. According to an Uptime Institute research done in 2021, more than 60% of the organizations surveyed lost more than $100,000 as a result of IT service interruptions.
Danail Stoychev, who serves the role of Cloud Operations Manager at Rax.bg, had the following to say:
Failover Cloud is a technology solution designed to help businesses keep their operations going and to minimize any interruption of services, a result of an OS failure or downtime of the underlying physical infrastructure. In the event of an interruption of the main IT environment, RAX Failover Cloud switches the service delivery to the business continuity server to prevent downtime.
He went on to say that the Failover Cloud service includes a completely synchronized, mirrored copy of the application environment, which may be a website, a desktop and mobile application, a mail server, or any other data used by enterprises to offer Public Cloud or Private Cloud services.
