Downtime Remains a Challenge for Industry, Hybrid Cloud Pushed as a Solution

The True Cost of Downtime 2024 report notes that large factories in the sectors studied could potentially suffer average losses of up to USD253 million per year due to unplanned downtime. These losses include halted production processes, lost revenue, increased labour costs, emergency repairs, and delays in order fulfilment.

This situation is driving companies to strengthen their information technology infrastructure through systems capable of maintaining service availability and minimising operational disruptions.

Responding to this need, Biznet Gio has collaborated with Rainer Server, a business unit of Indo Mega Vision (IMV), to introduce GIO Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure. This solution combines cloud and on-premise environments as an option for companies to build more reliable IT infrastructure and support business continuity.

Biznet Gio Vice President of Marketing Hari Syah Agam stated that the increasing reliance of companies on digital systems means the impact of downtime is no longer limited to IT aspects but directly affects business activities. “In a business environment that increasingly depends on digital systems, downtime no longer only impacts IT systems, but also the operational continuity of the company. GIO Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure helps companies build a layer of redundancy so that operations do not depend on a single infrastructure environment,” Hari said.

According to him, the hybrid cloud approach allows companies to integrate their existing infrastructure with cloud computing services, thereby increasing flexibility while supporting risk mitigation strategies against system disruptions.
