can someone explain Luke’s joke? i get the 69 part but what does it mean to say your goal is six nines? is that a phrase?
Refers to system uptime in the IT world. Six nines means your goal is to guarantee that your systems are up and available 99.9999% of the time.
Some managed IT service providers guarantee uptimes up to a certain amount of nines to attract big corporate clients. Some contracts are even written so that if they miss that guarantee, the IT provider actually has to pay the customer.
thank you! i remember having to learn that for the Microsoft propaganda known as AZ900, but I pushed that all out as soon as i learned i didn’t need to do it anymore
