With the average cost of unplanned downtime running from $300,000 to $500,000 per hour , businesses are increasingly using high availability (HA) technologies to maximize application uptime. Where a high availability design once worked well, it can no longer keep up with more complex requirements. there cannot be high availability.

The short answers are, of course ‘all the time’ and ‘everyone’, but this mutual disownership is a common reason why performance often gets overlooked. Of course, it is impossible to fix (or even find) every performance issue during the development phase. Each have their own time, place, purpose, focus, and audience. Who: Engineers.
