Abstract
Datacenter downtime has become a major concern as every minute equates to money lost. An unplanned outage can easily cost a datacenter $8000 per minute of downtime and can even reach costs of $16,000 per minute of downtime. The main root causes of unplanned failures are largely attributed to power system failure and human error. Hardware failures, such as server failures, only account for about 4–5% of unplanned downtime. However, these types of failures are often much more difficult and costly to recover from. As a result, unplanned datacenter outages caused by server failures are responsible for the highest incurred costs, compared to downtimes attributed to other root causes, despite their low rate of occurrence as seen in first figure of this chapter. This presents much of the motivation behind the work in this paper as we develop a framework for reducing this hardware failure subject to performance constraints.
