Towards better management of IT service outages
Modern society is becoming increasingly dependent on IT services. Consequences of outages in these services range from delayed deliveries and minor power outages to empty shelves in stores and shortage of everything from food to medicine. Critical IT services are found throughout society, in private and public sector alike.
The DRISTIG project studied outages in critical IT services for some two years, focusing on the costs of outages, insurance against outages, and so called Service Level Agreements (SLA).
