I would have to say that for the most part, we are in the #2 area. We take our servers down once a week and that takes them down for about 15 - 20 minutes. Other than that we have pretty much 100% uptime (Sparing the odd Wed at noon freeze on our production server).

I was just talking to one of our network administrators after we had some communication issues, and she said that our company has really good uptime, as far as our internal network goes. I disagreed, but she indicated that if you compare ours to other companies, we do. It's true that things rarely go down here, but I feel that things could be better so that when we do have a router fail or something like that, we have as much downtime as it takes to switch to a backup router. So, my poll is: How much downtime does your internal network have (communications, mainly, not just one server is down every now and then because of a software issue). 1. Never 2. Rarely, and when things go down, they're down no longer than 15 minutes 3. Rarely, but when things go down, they're down for hours at a time 4. Pretty often, at least once a month, but for brief periods 5. Pretty often, at least once a month, and for long periods of hours or more 6. Our network sucks and I save everything on my local computer because it's more reliable than our network Feel free to reply privately, and please do reply. I'm curious. My answer is #2.
