From Seconds to Millions: The Real Cost of Downtime and Recovery

Written by BTC BROADBAND | Sep 16, 2024 4:30:00 PM

When critical IT systems go down, every second counts.

For businesses that depend on technology for their day-to-day operations, a few minutes of downtime can lead to a cascade of lost revenue, halted productivity, and even lasting reputational damage. In fact, downtime can be so costly that industry leaders like Amazon reportedly lose over $220,000 per minute during outages on Prime Day​.

With so much at stake, businesses across every sector—from airlines to retail giants—are investing heavily in solutions that reduce recovery time after outages and minimize overall downtime costs. A single outage can cost businesses thousands, even millions, but proactive planning can reduce this impact significantly.

In today’s digital-first economy, effective downtime mitigation isn’t just a precaution; it’s essential to business resilience.
