In June 2022, The Uptime Institute published its latest Outage Analysis, an annual report that looks at the frequency and severity of data centre outages. The report concluded that the financial consequences and overall disruption from outages are steadily increasing.
Cost and frequency of outages has risen
The report found that one in five organisations had experienced a “serious” or “severe” outage, involving significant financial losses, reputational damage, compliance breaches, and in some severe cases, loss of life, in the past three years. This data is also evident in the Uptime’s 2022 Data Centre Resiliency Survey, which found that 80% of data centre managers and operators have experienced some type of outage in the past three years.
