Five Nines … most businesses have heard the term, but what does this mean? 

More importantly, do you know how it affects your business?

Achieving five 9s reliability has been an important concept in telecommunications and computing for a long time.

Literally, “five 9s” is defined as your computing infrastructure working 99.999% of the time (which means the maximum downtime in a year is no more than 5 minutes and 15.36 seconds annually, or slightly longer in a leap year).

The concept and phrase have long been associated with telecommunications. When you pick up your phone,  you expect to get a dial tone.
