When organizations evaluate an IT partner, one question always matters:
Can we rely on you to keep our business running?
As part of our annual planning process, we recently reviewed our long-term performance metrics. One number stood out — not because it was surprising, but because it validated years of disciplined engineering and operational focus.
Over the past five years, Premier Broadband & Consulting, LLC has maintained 99.991% uptime across client infrastructure environments.
That equates to less than one hour of downtime per year on average.
Why Uptime Matters More Than Ever
Downtime today isn’t just an inconvenience — it’s a business risk.
Even brief outages can result in:
- Lost productivity
- Interrupted customer service
- Security exposure
- Compliance concerns
- Reputational damage
For small and mid-sized organizations, a single outage can have outsized impact. That’s why uptime isn’t something we treat as a checkbox or marketing claim — it’s a core design principle.
Designed for 99.99%+ Availability
Our environments are designed for 99.99%+ availability through intentional architecture and proactive operations.
That includes:
- Redundant systems and failover planning
- Proactive monitoring and alerting
- Security-first infrastructure design
- Controlled change management
- Regular testing and validation
High availability doesn’t come from any single tool or vendor. It’s the result of consistent decisions made over time, backed by experience and accountability.
Demonstrated, Not Promised
It’s important to clarify what this metric represents.
The 99.991% uptime figure reflects demonstrated historical performance — not a contractual guarantee or SLA commitment. Real-world environments depend on many variables, including third-party providers, internet carriers, and power utilities.
What this number does show is our track record:
- Measured over multiple years
- Across diverse client environments
- In real operating conditions
In other words, it reflects how our designs and processes perform when it matters.
What This Means for Our Clients
For our clients, this level of uptime translates to:
- Fewer disruptions
- More predictable operations
- Greater confidence in technology decisions
- Reduced stress around critical systems
Most importantly, it allows teams to focus on their core business — not IT emergencies.
Reliability Is a Discipline
High uptime isn’t achieved through shortcuts or promises. It’s achieved through:
- Thoughtful planning
- Conservative engineering choices
- Continuous improvement
- Clear accountability
We believe reliability should be engineered, monitored, and earned — not overstated.
As we move forward, our focus remains the same: designing resilient systems, responding quickly when issues arise, and holding ourselves to a high operational standard.
Looking Ahead
Technology continues to evolve, and so do the risks. But our commitment remains unchanged: to provide stable, secure, and well-managed environments that businesses can depend on.
If reliability matters to your organization — and it should — we’d be glad to have a conversation.
