SayPro System Uptime and Availability Targets:Track the percentage of uptime for all critical SayPro systems, such as Royalty Management and Learning Management Systems. Ensure the goal is 99.9% system availability.

SayPro System Uptime and Availability Targets

Objective:
Track the uptime percentage of critical SayPro systems, including the Royalty Management System (RMS) and Learning Management System (LMS), to ensure the system operates with 99.9% availability. This target is critical to maintaining uninterrupted services and supporting the seamless experience for users and stakeholders.

1. System Uptime and Availability Targets Overview

System	Target Availability	Allowable Downtime (Annual)	Allowable Downtime (Monthly)	Allowable Downtime (Daily)
Royalty Management System	99.9%	8.77 hours	43.2 minutes	1.44 minutes
Learning Management System	99.9%	8.77 hours	43.2 minutes	1.44 minutes

Interpretation of Uptime Targets:

• 99.9% Availability: This equates to just 8.77 hours of downtime per year for each critical system.
• Monthly Downtime: No more than 43.2 minutes of downtime per month for each system.
• Daily Downtime: No more than 1.44 minutes of downtime per day.

2. Monitoring System Uptime

Key Metrics for Monitoring System Uptime:

1. System Uptime: Measure the total time the system is operational and accessible to users without any outages or disruptions.
   • Target: 99.9% uptime
2. Downtime Duration: The total amount of time the system is unavailable.
   • Target: < 1.44 minutes per day
3. Incident Frequency: The number of incidents leading to downtime or performance issues.
   • Target: < 0.1% of the time (indicating rare disruptions)
4. System Error Rate: The rate at which errors impact the system’s performance or accessibility.
   • Target: < 0.1% error rate

3. Tools and Methods for Tracking Uptime

To meet the 99.9% uptime target, SayPro will utilize the following monitoring tools and strategies:

Tool/Method	Purpose	Frequency
Uptime Monitoring Tools (New Relic, Pingdom)	Continuously track the availability of critical systems.	Continuous (24/7)
Error Monitoring (Splunk, Datadog)	Monitor for errors, crashes, and issues impacting system uptime.	Continuous (24/7)
Automated Alerts	Notify teams immediately when downtime or performance degradation occurs.	Real-Time
Incident Management System	Track and log all incidents affecting uptime and performance.	As incidents occur

---

4. Incident Management Process for Uptime Failures

In case of a system failure or downtime, the following actions will be implemented immediately:

Step	Action	Responsible Team	Timeframe
Step 1: Detection	Identify the downtime event through monitoring tools and system alerts.	Monitoring Team	Immediate (Real-Time)
Step 2: Notification	Notify technical support and IT teams of the downtime event.	Monitoring Team	Within 5 minutes
Step 3: Diagnosis	Diagnose the cause of the issue (server failure, system crash, etc.).	IT/Operations Team	Within 10 minutes
Step 4: Resolution	Implement a fix to restore system functionality (e.g., restart, patch deployment).	IT/Operations Team	Within 30 minutes
Step 5: Post-Incident Review	Perform a root-cause analysis and document the resolution.	Monitoring Team/IT Team	Within 24 hours

---

5. Reporting System Uptime

Regular reports on system uptime will be generated to ensure adherence to the 99.9% availability target.

Report	Content	Frequency
System Uptime Report	Summary of uptime statistics, incidents, and causes of downtime.	Daily/Weekly
Incident Resolution Report	Detailed records of issues, downtime duration, and resolution actions taken.	As incidents occur
Monthly System Performance Report	Comprehensive review of uptime metrics, improvements, and potential areas for optimization.	Monthly

---

6. Continuous Improvement Plan for Uptime

To ensure 99.9% system availability is consistently achieved, the following initiatives will be undertaken:

Action	Description	Responsible Team	Frequency
Load Testing	Regular stress testing to simulate peak traffic and system load.	IT/Operations Team	Quarterly
Redundancy & Failover Testing	Test system redundancy and failover mechanisms to ensure system recovery during failures.	IT Team	Quarterly
Root Cause Analysis	Conduct post-incident reviews to prevent future downtime.	IT/Monitoring Team	After every incident
Monitoring System Calibration	Review and fine-tune monitoring systems for accuracy and responsiveness.	Monitoring Team	Quarterly

---

7. Target Adjustments and Reviews

If the 99.9% uptime target is not consistently met, a root-cause analysis will be performed, and adjustments will be made to the system to improve reliability.

Step	Action	Responsible Team	Timeframe
Step 1: Root Cause Analysis	Identify the causes of downtime and determine corrective actions.	IT/Operations Team	Within 1 week
Step 2: Identify Solutions	Recommend and implement solutions (e.g., infrastructure upgrade, code optimization).	IT/Operations Team	Within 2 weeks
Step 3: Monitor Results	Track system performance after applying fixes to ensure issues are resolved.	Monitoring Team	Ongoing
