Are More Relevant than Ever

2. Tomorrow your company is going to close a deal that is
going to make your year and set the precedent for your
company’s future growth. You have spent months
preparing for this day and your business’s next fiscal
quarter is depending on the success of this deal. Every “i”
has been dotted and every “t” has been crossed. It’s now
just past one in the morning and you are finally falling
asleep in anticipation of the coming day, but
unbeknownst to you, there are problems occurring back at
the office.

3. The Death of the Deal
It’s now the next morning. You walk into the office with your
head held high, waiting for the big meeting and to close the
deal of your life. But something’s very wrong. The office is in a
frenzy and your IT manager is running at you with a look of
horror on his face. It turns out your core server crashed. And
not only did the server crash, but crucial data was corrupted
and the crash happened before the normal nightly backup
could occur. To make matters worse, no one was the wiser
until about 10 minutes ago when people started coming into
the office. There’s no time to fix things before the meeting of
your life and that big future-making deal that you were about
to close is not going to happen.

4. The Fact of the Matter
Think this is a work of fiction? Technically it is, but it is
one of those fictions that are founded in fact. Each and
every year businesses experience server interruptions and,
over the past five years, those interruptions have resulted
in approximately $70 million in lost revenue. The sad
thing is, there is a service that can be put into place to cut
this number drastically. With server monitoring service in
place, you can drastically reduce the amount of server
downtime that your company suffers.

5. So how does a single service protect your profits and your
company’s reputation? It’s rather simple.
An Eagle’s Eye on Your Company’s Servers
With server monitoring in place, you’d know the moment
your server went down because the server monitoring
service would contact you via email, phone call, and/or
SMS text message. The service monitors your servers 24
hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and they
make sure you know about server downtime the moment
it occurs.

6. A quality server monitoring service may even be able to
alert you of server downtime before it occurs by letting
you know when your server’s performance is suffering.
The server monitoring service can alert you regarding
issues that could lead to a total server crash, thereby
preventing the crash by allowing you to go to work to
correct the problem before it results in total server failure.

7. How Severe Is the Sever Downtime Issue?
According to Dun & Bradstreet, 59 percent of Fortune 500
companies experience at least 1.6 hours of downtime each and
every week. The exact profit loss caused by this downtime
varies from one company to the next, but the top dogs, such as
Wall Street, can suffer losses as great as or even more than $6.5
million per hour every time their servers crash. While you
may not be Wall Street, there isn’t a single business in the
world that can afford to throw profits out the window when
there is a way to prevent it. And the fact is, a good chunk of
the downtime that companies without server monitoring
service experience could be prevented.

8. Early intervention is the best way to reduce server
downtime. With server monitoring service in place, you
are notified the moment your company experiences server
downtime. This means that you can go to work faster to
get the servers back up and running. This not only
reduces your downtime, but reduces profit loss and
productivity loss caused by the downtime. When all is
considered, server monitoring service is one of the few
services that can actually pay for itself with the profits it
protects by reducing the amount of server downtime that
your company encounters.
