Downtime
Downtime refers to a period of time or a percentage of a timespan that a machine or system (usually a computer server) is offline or not functioning, usually as a result of either system failure (such as a crash) or routine maintenance. The opposite is uptime.Maintenance downtimes have to be carefully scheduled in industries that rely on nearly 24-hour service, such as e-commercemedical informaticsnews reporting, and persistent online games. In many cases, system-wide downtimes can be averted using rolling upgrades.Downtimes caused by system failures can have serious economic impact. To minimize these effects network monitoring can be used.
