More on 5-9 Availability
I had a few posts on 5-9 availability in the last two years. Today, ZDNet reports that 3Tera is offering 5 9′s. The really positive thing I saw in the article is that 3Tera plans to provide automatic SLA credits in the event of downtime that blows the metric – which, if there’s truly 5-9 availability, shouldn’t take much doing.
I’ll ask the question again that I asked before: Is it worth the cost?
The current economic situation is encouraging many organizations to reconsider their current contractual relationships. Contact me before your opponent does to find out how to make the most of your renegotiations. The Licensing Handbook Blog is the companion site to the Software Licensing Handbook. Covering licensing topics on a regular basis, Jeffrey Gordon attempts to offer advice, add humor and sometimes even a bit of wit to a practice that most people find abhorrent – namely, reading a contract from start to finish.
