This is probably a bit picky since you don't mention what those machines do, but that's not even "four nines" in the high-availability scale. I'm not sure that's something to boast about for a Fortune 500 company or any kind of praise for the IBM series. Maybe you meant hours over the last seven years?
- jjnoakes 6y agoNot op but it sounded like it was scheduled downtime so perhaps it was meant as a per-system number and either redundancy kept the availability higher or the service wasn't needed when downtime was scheduled (overnight, weekends, etc)
- znpy 6y agoPlanned and scheduled downtime usually doesn't count against SLO/SLA. If the "hours per year" is true, they're actually achieving 100% uptime. Fucking big deal, if you ask me.
