    Ah…but you are the wise one my friend. I miss our discussions.

    Suppose you have a 24×7 system that has 100 users but typically not at the same time let’s say 30 users/hour is typical to make the math easier. You have a 1 hour outage during the day would you availability be:

    AV = (100*24 – 30)/(100*24) = 98.75%

    -or-

    AV = (30*24 – 30)/(30*24) = 95.83%
    AV = (100*24 – 100)/(100*24) = 95.83% (of course)

    I look forward to a discussion on this. I believe that both are valid availability measures, but, they are measuring different things.
