About Expensive Downtime
Why This Exists
Most small businesses don't think about downtime until it happens. By then, it's already expensive.
This site exists to change that. Every tool, guide, and resource here is designed to help you understand the real cost of IT outages, and prevent them before they happen.
Who Built This
I'm a senior network engineer and resilience specialist based in Brooklyn, NY.
For 26+ years, I've designed and maintained high-availability networks for businesses that can't afford to go offline. I've seen what happens when downtime hits, and I've seen how simple, unglamorous preparation prevents it.
Everything on this site comes from that experience. No theory. No sales pitches. Just the things that actually work.
