How Is Server Uptime Calculated

How to Determine Server Uptime. You can calculate your network uptime with some simple math: 24 hours per day x 365 days per year = 8,760 hours per year. Number of hours your network is up and running per year ÷ 8,760 hours per year x 100 = Yearly uptime percentage.

What is uptime and how is it calculated?

Uptime is calculated based on the number of hours that the system (server) is available during a given period of time and is expressed as a percentage. Let’s look at an example. We know that there are 365 days per year so in terms of hours there are a total of 365 x 24 = 8760 hours.

How is server availability calculated?

System availability is calculated by dividing uptime by the total sum of uptime and downtime. For example, let’s say you’re trying to calculate the availability of a critical production asset. That asset ran for 200 hours in a single month.
