Re: Obligatory "Office 365" Joke

Of all the on-premises servers that I look after, the worst two down times were

a: 3 hours for HDD failure on a server that is 8 years old (22.5 minutes per year average downtime)

b: 2.5 hours (mostly traveling to site) for a failed PSU - that server is 7 years old (21.43 minutes per year average downtime)

Both servers are still running perfectly. OK, so I'm not including out of hours reboots for updates, but I don't have customers with Microsoft's budget for failover servers etc.......

So much for the resilience of the cloud!
