Google Emphasizes Cloud Services Reliability

We've covered the outages at Google pretty regularly, so when they released some metrics on email reliability it only seemed fair to tell their side of the story. According to the graph and summary posted on the official Google blog, Gmail had less unplanned downtime per month than Groupwise, Lotus, or Exchange. And when those companies planned downtime is also taken into account, of which Gmail had none, the difference in downtime nearly doubled in every case.

Google Apps Gets a 99.9% Guarantee

David Gerard passes along a posting on Google's official blog announcing that they have extended the three-nines SLA for the Premier Edition of Google Apps from Gmail alone to also cover the Calendar, Docs, Sites, and Google Talk services. 99.9% uptime translates to 45 minutes a month of downtime, and the blog post puts this in context with Gmail's historical reliability, which has been between three and four times as good over the last year (10-15 min./mo.). It also claims, based on research by an outside group, that Gmail's historical reliability beats that of in-house hosted solutions such as Groupwise and Exchange, on average. Reader Ian Lamont adds an article in The Standard that digs down into the details of the SLA, revealing for instance that outages of less than 10 minutes aren't counted against the monthly 45 minutes.
