Up-time Guarantees
Up-time guarantees refer to the commitment a service provider makes to ensure their system or service remains available and operational for a certain percentage of time. For example, a 99.9% uptime guarantee means the service should be accessible almost all the time, allowing only minimal downtime for maintenance or unexpected issues. These guarantees are formal promises often backed by service level agreements (SLAs), providing reassurance that the system will be reliable. If the provider fails to meet the guarantee, they may offer compensation or remedies. Essentially, it’s a measure of the service’s dependability and availability.
