Cost of Downtime Analysis
Why High Availability Matters for PostgreSQL
In today's always-on digital economy, database downtime directly impacts revenue, customer trust, and competitive advantage. PostgreSQL high availability ensures your critical applications remain operational 24/7/365.
Business Impact
Average cost of downtime ranges from $100K to $1M per hour for enterprise applications. HA solutions protect revenue and maintain customer satisfaction.
- Prevent revenue loss during outages
- Maintain customer trust and loyalty
- Meet SLA commitments to clients
Regulatory Compliance
Industries like finance, healthcare, and e-commerce require documented disaster recovery plans and guaranteed uptime for regulatory compliance.
- HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS compliance
- Documented DR procedures
- Audit trail and reporting
Competitive Advantage
Organizations with robust HA infrastructure can scale confidently, enter new markets, and outperform competitors who struggle with reliability issues.
- Scale without reliability concerns
- Support global operations 24/7
- Faster time-to-market for features
High Availability Services
Comprehensive HA Services Offered
Complete high availability architecture components designed for mission-critical PostgreSQL deployments with automatic failover, load balancing, and disaster recovery capabilities.
Master-Slave & Streaming Replication
