What is Uptime and SLA?
Uptime refers to the percentage of time a system, service, or network is operational and accessible. In the context of web services, it is a measure of how reliable a website or application is over a specific period.
A Service Level Agreement (SLA) is a formal agreement between a service provider and a customer that defines the expected level of service. This often includes uptime guarantees, specifying the minimum uptime percentage that the provider promises to maintain.
For example, an SLA with a 99.9% uptime guarantee allows for a maximum of 0.1% downtime over a given period. This calculator helps you understand the allowable downtime for different uptime percentages and calculate the required uptime based on allowed downtime.
