Availability Guarantee
Izy AS guarantees that the Service will maintain an uptime level of 99% per month. Uptime is measured from the first to the last day of each month. It is calculated using the following formula:
Formula for calculating uptime= (1-(N-P)/D) *100
Where:
- P: Scheduled maintenance downtime in accordance with the scheduled maintenance plan (maintenance window)
- D: Total service time in minutes – the total number of minutes in the specified service period
- N: Downtime in minutes – the time the solution has been unavailable due to reasons attributable to the Provider, i.e., not force majeure or other circumstances beyond the Provider’s control, and not caused by the Customer
