Don't wait for a crisis to learn how much downtime is costing you
The operational risks of running large deployments on limited support are considerable, and many organizations realize their need for enterprise-level features and support only after encountering critical issues. Recovery efforts, such as hiring contractors and restoring systems, bring even more unexpected expenses. Additionally, reputation damage can follow outages, as customers and prospects may lose trust.
Sonatype has observed organizations incurring downtime costs of up to $2 million per day. While these costs vary depending on the industry and company size, the long-term impact of downtime, such as reduced confidence and slowed progress, often outweighs the immediate losses in productivity. Beyond minimizing downtime, enterprises that adopt tools like Nexus Repository Pro benefit from enhanced productivity and scalability compared to free alternatives.
