How much do you lose from unexpected downtime of your servers & business applications? The simplest way to calculate potential revenue losses during an outage is with the equation:<\/p>\n
LOST REVENUE = (GR\/TH) x I x H<\/p>\n
GR = Gross Yearly Revenue <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n TH = Total Yearly Business Hours <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I = Percentage Impact <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n H = Number of Hours of Outage <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Small Business Example: According to the Small Business Administration (SBA.gov), the average annual revenue of a small retail or services business is $7 million, and according to Gartner Research Group (Gartner.com), the average business suffers 87 hours of downtime per year. Let\u2019s use these in our example\u2026<\/p>\n GR = $7,000,000.00 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n TH = 2,340 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I = .293% <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n H = 87.3 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n LOST REVENUE = (7,000,000\/2340) x .0293 x 87.3 = <\/span><\/span>$7,651.81\/Year <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n If your business grosses higher revenues, operates less business hours, or has a greater average downtime percentage than this example, your costs will be significantly higher.
