Downtime

Downtime refers to that period when a system is unavailable. Typically applied to servers, websites or equipment, downtime may occur for scheduled maintenance or as a result of unplanned outages. Service level agreements often specify the minimum uptime that a system should provide and reliability is a key driver of increased uptime. See also Service Level Agreement and Uptime.
