Hear from analysts
Commissioned by IBM, Forrester Consulting conducted a survey of 100 IT directors in large US enterprises. On average, respondents estimated that planned downtime cost their organization USD 5.6 million in the last year.¹
“Because planned downtime is costly, some enterprises try to avoid it for needed bug fixes and security updates… [this] results in a greater risk of unplanned downtime, creating a downtime cycle.”²
