Estimated Savings

Estimate only. Assumes full annual revenue and employee-compensation exposure during downtime, discounted by a fixed 65% conservative impact factor, normalized over a standard 2,080-hour work year. Local recovery assumes a typical 100 Mbps on-premises restore speed; cloud recovery uses your entered connection speed. Employee cost defaults are sourced from BLS ECEC June 2025 compensation data, split roughly 70% wages / 30% benefits and overhead. Does not include penalties, reputational damage, SLA credits, or recovery project costs.
