Real Availability 2007 will both challenge and change
the way you think about reliability and availability.

The "new economy" has developed into an economic engine of awesome proportions. This engine's fuel is an uninterrupted supply of clean electric power 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year. Downtime is not an option.

Designing, building, operating, and maintaining these supply systems is a highly specialized profession. Demand for qualified professionals far outstrips supply. The market demands Real Availability, not promises or excuses.

The design, construction, operation, and maintenance of mission-critical facilities is a demanding art. 7x24 professionals know from first-hand experience that end-to-end reliability requires attention to all the details while never losing sight of the big picture. Most of the specialized knowledge and training
is learned on the job – until now.

Steve Fairfax and MIT Professor Mike Golay have distilled decades of applied reliability theory and practice into a 1-day seminar – Real Availability 2007. Developed especially for members of the 7x24 Exchange, Real Availability will both challenge and change the way you think about reliability and availability.

• Real-world examples and case studies

• Evaluating the reliability of data center and mission-critical facility power systems

• Understanding and reducing human error in data center operations

• Determining optimal test and maintenance strategies

• Why you can't contract for availability

The course has proven extremely popular in past years.

• 96% of 7x24 Exchange members who evaluated the 2004 and 2005 Real Availability seminars said they would use Real Availability concepts on the job.
• 100% said that they would recommend the course to others.
