Transcription: In a survey of 400 large companies, DataQuest found that 99.9999% availability translates to about five minutes of annual downtime at an average cost of $7,000. 90% availability translates to 876 hours of downtime and a cost of about $74 million in lost sales, lost productivity, and emergency repair costs.
