Redundancy is cheaper than the outages you already have. This is not a tech decision, it is a math decision.

What this assumed

  • Some business comes back after an outage. The recovery share you enter is what decides how much.

Runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.

This is an estimate

This tool returns an estimate based on the numbers you entered. Your real result depends on your own costs, rates and conditions. Check it against your own records before you make a decision with it.

What this tool actually does for you

Who it is for

Retail, restaurants, clinics, e-commerce, anyone who cannot take money when the system is out.

The problem it points at

Downtime feels like an annoyance until you multiply it out. Then it looks like a business decision you have been avoiding.

What you walk away with

The hourly cost of being offline, and what a backup is worth against it.

How to use it

Takes about two minutes. Be honest with the numbers, the tool is not going to tell anybody.

  1. Enter your revenue and open hours.
  2. Enter how many hours a year you are actually down.
  3. Compare that to what a backup would cost.
