Every Hour of SQL Downtime Costs More Than You Think

Unplanned database outages trigger cascading costs — lost revenue, compliance violations, and recovery expenses. Seepath eliminates that risk.

Revenue Loss

Average mid-market business loses $5,600/minute during unplanned downtime. A 4-hour outage? $13.4M in lost revenue.

Without HA failover, manual recovery takes hours.

Compliance Exposure

SLA breaches trigger penalties, regulatory fines, and loss of customer trust. Financial and healthcare sectors face exponential costs for non-compliance.

HA = documented RTO/RPO compliance.

Recovery Time

Manual failover for unprepared systems takes 2–8 hours. Always On with WSFC handles failover in under 30 seconds — automatically.

No operator intervention needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

SQL Server Always On Availability Groups is a high availability and disaster recovery solution that provides an enterprise-level alternative to database mirroring. It supports failover environments for multiple databases together, automatic failover, synchronous replication for zero data loss, and up to 9 readable secondary replicas for load balancing and reporting.

With synchronous replication and Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC), Always On Availability Groups can achieve automatic failover in under 30 seconds. RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is near-zero with synchronous replication, and RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is typically sub-5 minutes for automatic failover within the same region.

Always On Availability Groups require SQL Server Enterprise Edition or Azure SQL Managed Instance. However, Azure SQL Managed Instance provides built-in HA with a 99.99% SLA without the cluster management overhead. Seepath can help optimise licensing costs via Direct CSP subscriptions and Azure Hybrid Benefit.

Yes. Seepath provides end-to-end migration from on-premises SQL Server to Azure SQL Managed Instance, including database migration, network configuration, app connection string updates, monitoring integration, and cutover validation to ensure zero downtime.

Seepath is a Direct Bill Microsoft CSP, supplying SQL Server 2022, SQL Server 2025, and Azure SQL Managed Instance licences. We include Azure Hybrid Benefit optimisation (40%+ cost savings) and failover rights with Software Assurance or subscription models. Pricing varies by core count and licensing model.
