Estimates vary, but most reports put the average cost of unplanned database downtime at approximately $300,000 to $500,000 per hour, or $5,000 to $8,000 per minute. With so much at stake, database high availability and fault tolerance have become must-have items, but many companies just aren’t certain which one they must have.
