Why Do Businesses Struggle with Data Availability, and How Can They Fix It?

Picture this: It's the biggest sales event of the year and your e-commerce site crashes. Orders aren't going through, customer support is flooded with complaints, and every passing minute means lost revenue. Or imagine a bank unable to process transactions because of a system failure—clients panic, stock prices take a hit, and trust evaporates.

This isn't just hypothetical. Product research by ITIC says asingle hour of downtime costs enterprises an average of $300,000. Yet many businesses still operate with fragile data availability strategies, leaving them vulnerable to costly disruptions.

Where Businesses Get It Wrong with Data Availability

1. Data Demand Is Growing Faster Than Infrastructure:

Data centers are expanding, but demand is outpacing supply. In São Paulo alone, capacity reached 62.1 MW in early 2024, yet outages persist because of high occupancy rates (Source: CBRE). It’s like building highways to ease traffic congestion—if population growth keeps outpacing road expansion, gridlock is inevitable.

2. Cyberattacks Are Making Outages Worse:

Ransomware attacks soared by 37% in 2023, often leaving businesses offline for days (Source: Cybersecurity Ventures). But it's not just about the attack itself—the ripple effect. If a hospital's database is locked by ransomware, patient care suffers. If a retailer’s POS system is breached, sales stop cold.

The real issue? Many companies think backups alone will save them. In reality, 93% of ransomware victims who paid the ransom never fully recovered their data (Source: Sophos). The solution? Multi-layered protection with real-time failover strategies.

3. Relying on One Vendor Is a Risky Gamble:

Too many businesses put all their data eggs in one provider's basket. You're stuck if that cloud provider experiences downtime (which happens more than you'd think). Last year, a major cloud outage disrupted thousands of businesses for nearly 5 hours, costing millions in lost productivity.

A smarter move? A multi-cloud or hybrid strategy that ensures failover mechanisms kick in when one provider goes down.
