IT Downtime Factors
The industry average cost of downtime is dependent on a lot of variables. The monetary losses vary when you consider your revenue, industry, the actual duration of the outage, the number of people impacted, the time of day, etc.
For example, losses are significantly higher per hour for businesses who are based on high-level data transactions, like banks and online retail sales.
If you experience an unplanned outage during peak traffic time, obviously the damage will be more significant.
