Availability and performance of a business' IT services are inextricably linked, with procactive performance management providing the early warnings that are necessary to eliminate or minimise IT downtime.

But the availability of an IT service can be affected by unexpected event:

• Loss of Power
• Hardware or system failure
• Data corruption
• Security incident (Worm, Trojan, etc.)
• Human Error

Furthermore, some of the core services on which IT is dependent are often ignored when it comes to resilience and proper management - a failure in core services such as DNS or DHCP can effectively disable critical business ervices.
