The Financial Impact of Downtime
Every hour your business is down is revenue you’ll never get back. A simple way to measure the cost of downtime is to take your annual revenue (or profit) and divide it by the number of business hours in a year. For example, if you operate 2,000 hours per year and make $5 million in revenue, then one hour of downtime could cost about $2,500 in lost revenue. In reality, the costs are often much higher when you factor in lost productivity, recovery expenses, and lost opportunities.

Key Business
Continuity Solutions
Airspeed IT provides a range of business continuity solutions tailored for SMBs. Our expertise covers all the critical areas needed to eliminate single points of failure and minimize downtime.
Redundant Internet Connections & Automatic Failover
We set up secondary internet connections that kick in instantly if your primary internet goes down. Even a short network outage can lead to serious losses in productivity and revenue, so having a backup ISP or 4G/5G wireless link ensures your team stays online and cloud-based apps keep working. This redundancy isn’t a luxury – it’s become a necessity for business continuity. If one line is cut or an ISP has an outage, our auto-failover configuration seamlessly switches you over to the backup link, preventing internet downtime from bringing your business to a halt.
Cybersecurity Protections
Cyberattacks like ransomware are a leading cause of major downtime for businesses. We bolster your defenses with firewalls, advanced threat detection, antivirus/anti-malware tools, and employee security training to reduce the risk of a breach. A strong security posture is essential because a single successful attack can encrypt your data or knock your systems offline for days.
Cloud High-Availability Solutions
Moving key applications and servers to the cloud can dramatically improve uptime. Airspeed IT helps you leverage cloud infrastructure with high availability, meaning your systems are distributed across multiple data centers or cloud zones. If one server or site goes down, a replica automatically takes over, so your application stays live.
Data Backup Solutions
Regular, reliable backups are the cornerstone of continuity. We implement automatic data backup systems (both on-premises and secure cloud backups) so that you always have recent copies of your files and databases. In the event of hardware failure, human error, or malware, you can restore your data quickly and keep working. This means a server crash or accidental file deletion doesn’t turn into a catastrophe for your business.
UPS Battery Backups (Power Continuity)
Power outages are unpredictable – a sudden blackout or even a five-minute power blip can crash your systems and corrupt data. That’s why we deploy Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units for your essential hardware (servers, network switches, etc.). A UPS is basically a battery backup that instantly provides power to your equipment if the electricity cuts out. Battery backups are a simple but vital part of continuity planning, preventing damage and downtime due to power issues.
Hardware Lifecycle Management
One often-overlooked aspect of continuity is preventing failures before they happen by retiring aging equipment on schedule. Airspeed IT works with you to plan a sensible hardware lifecycle – we keep track of how old your servers, PCs, and network devices are, and recommend replacements or upgrades before they become unreliable. Manufacturers generally warranty servers for about 5 years; beyond that, the chance of failure skyrockets.
