For retail organizations, peak traffic can be a mixed blessing. While high-volume traffic often boosts sales, it can also compromise uptimes. The nirvana state of system uptime at peak loads is known as “five-nines availability.” But is five nines availability attainable? Downtime per year. 90% (one nine).
