What does High Availability mean?

 The term High Availability was coined many years ago.

It was coined when uptime was defined in percentages. If a server is up all the time, then it is said to be 100% available. That is, it is always available to its users all the time. This is only possible with very specialist hardware and software. If it is down, say 1 hour a month for maintenance, then, looking at 24x365 = 8760 hours per year, it is down for 12 of those. In percentage terms, 12 hours out of 8760 is 0.137%, it is up for 99.86%. Or, available for 99.86% of the time.
