App Downtime Costs Drive DevOps Opportunities
-
The Cost of Unplanned Downtime
The average total cost of unplanned application downtime per year is $1.25 billion to $2.5 billion. -
Cost of Infrastructure Failure
Servers now run more apps than ever. The average hourly cost of an infrastructure failure at large enterprises is $100,000 per hour. -
Cost of Application Failure

Number of IT Deployment Projects Rises
The average number of deployments per month is expected to double in two years. Demand for outside management expertise is likely to increase accordingly. -
Modernizing DevOps
IT organizations that have tried to custom-adjust current tools to meet DevOps practices have a failure rate of 80%, thus making tool replacement and/or addition a critical requirement. -
High Hopes for DevOps
There is an expectation that DevOps-led projects will accelerate the delivery of capabilities to the customer by an average of 15% to 20%. -
DevOps Frustration
The average cost percentage (per year) of a single application's development, testing, deployment and operations life cycle considered wasteful and unnecessary is 25%. -

Why Metrics Matter to the Channel The cost of unplanned downtime in large organizations can be as high as $1.25 to $2.5 billion a year, according to new research from IDC on behalf of AppDynamics, a provider of application monitoring and management tools. The study, based on a survey of DevOps and other IT personnel at 20 Fortune 1000 companies with revenue of more than $1.3 billion, found that although there's no such thing as a DevOps market, demand for the collection of products and services used to optimize application development is red hot. Although more than 40 percent of these large companies have put some form of DevOps processes in place, another 40 percent are still evaluating their options, according to the research. From a consulting perspective, solution providers with DevOps expertise are usually invited to participate within the deepest levels of the customer's IT operations, which for most companies in the channel means living the IT dream. The challenge, of course, is being worthy of staying once invited to participate at that level. Here, Channel Insider examines key takeaways from the study.
