Similarly, Allan Staller wrote, in part:
At a relatively small MF shop I used to work at, the cost of downtime
was pegged at 100K/Hour.
Again, could be true (though that seems to make the company's revenue $876M,
which doesn't sound like a small shop) but where did that number come from?
Good calculation, wrong assumption.
Indeed, the cost of outage need not to be the revenue made during online
processing.
In other words the company can earn much less than they loss when
unexpected outage occurs.
And of course the cost of outage is provided in $$$/s while the real
cost per time is rarely linear.
There are cases where <1 minute outage would not cause any measurable
costs, while 5 minutes causes big problems, same problems for 10
minutes, but 30m and more means even worse problems, but there is no
difference between 2 and 4 hours, etc. That include reputation also,
which is hardly measurable.
