What is 99.99% of Availability?




Service/Application Availability is defined by uptime. I.e. the time between failures. It is dependent upon

 Downtime  - the amount of time the system is unavailable due to either failures or scheduled maintenance.

 Recovery time - the average time it takes to recover from failures. 

 Hence to have high availability, you must have low downtime and low recovery time.

 What's 4 nines(99.99%) of availability? In simple math:

 99.99% availability = (365*24*60) - (365*24*60*99.99/100) = 52.56 minutes = 52 minutes and 30 secs

 Seven-nines or 99.99999%  - availability means 3 seconds or less of downtime in a year
Six-nines or 99.9999% - availability means 30 seconds or less of downtime in a year
Five-nines or 99.999% - availability means 5 minutes, 15 seconds, or less of downtime in a year
Four nines or 99.99% - availability allows 52 minutes, 33 seconds downtime per year
Three nines or 99.9% - availability allows 8 hours, 46 minutes downtime per year
Two nines or 99% - availability allows 3 days, 15 hours, and 40 minutes downtime per year.
Thanks!!! Enjoy Programming!!

Odoo/OpenERP: one2one relational field example

Add field medical_detail_id in hr_employee class class hr_employee(osv.osv):     _name = 'hr.employee'     _inherits = {' hr.employee.medical.details ': "medical_detail_id"}     _inherit = 'hr.employee'         _columns = {             ...

How to draw Dynamic Line or Timeseries Chart in Java using jfreechart library?

Today we are going to write a code to draw a dynamic timeseries-cum-line chart in java.   The only difference between simple and dynamic chart is that a dynamic event is used to create a new series and update the graph. In out example we are using timer which automatically calls a funtion after every 1/4 th second and graph is updated with random data. Let's try with the code : Note : I had tried my best to provide complete documentation along with code. If at any time anyone have any doubt or question please post in comments section.

pyodbc.OperationalError: ('08001', '[08001] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]

Recently, I faced this error in our Docker-Container environment. All the necessary packages were already installed but still, I was facing this clueless error. I search a bit and after an hour and so I found the exact reason and solution for this error. To know more about this error in detail. Please follow this Github thread. https://github.com/mkleehammer/pyodbc/issues/610 https://github.com/mkleehammer/pyodbc/issues/610#issuecomment-587523802 Solution: It's because the   server's certificate has too weak a key. In case you are using Linux env directly/not the Docker one.  Just edited /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf and change these 2 lines. MinProtocol = TLSv1.0 CipherString = DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=1 In case you are also using a container, please add these three lines to your Docker file. RUN chmod +rwx /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf RUN sed -i ' s/TLSv1.2/TLSv1/g ' /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf RUN sed -i ' s/SECLEVEL=2/SECLEVEL=1/g ' /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf Thanks!! Enjoy Programming! Refer...
