- Local restore throughput: 1 Gbps (~125 MB/s)
- Cloud restore throughput: your measured Mbps
- Work year for $/hr conversions: 2080 hours
- Downtime cost = $/hr × downtime hours
- RPO re‑work hours are shown for context; adjust to taste
With the information that you've provided, and using certain assumptions made based on how businesses today typically function, we have estimated your downtime losses to be $3,283 per hour, and as a result, you could be looking at a total potential loss of around $27,902 in 8hrs 30mins of downtime. This is assuming that your recovery process works exactly as planned, and could be worse if you experience any further glitches. For this reason, it's critical to regularly test your recovery capabilities.If the recovery process fails, you could be looking at additional losses of $39,384 per recovery attempt.
In contrast, Datto's SIRIS business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) solutions could reduce your downtime to 2hrs 6mins and your overall downtime cost would fall to $6,569. In the rare case that the first recovery attempt doesn't work, your costs would only increase by $274, as opposed to $39,384.
With Datto, even if you are experiencing an outage at your workplace, work doesn't have to stop. Datto Continuity can get you back to business in a little as 6 minutes on virtual servers, which can be accessed anywhere you have working internet.
