Outages Do More Than Slow Your Team Down

The clock doesn’t stop ticking when your network goes down. Payroll accumulates even if the work doesn’t. Teams scramble through workarounds. And by the time service returns, the backlog has grown. 

Most organizations know that downtime is expensive. What they’re missing is the actual, specific cost tied to their headcount, roles, and recovery time. 

Get Your Number in Under Five Minutes

The VNET Outage Impact Calculator walks you through the real cost of a network outage based on your organization’s size, the roles affected, and how long recovery takes. Input your headcount and hourly rates by role. The calculator does the rest.

What it calculates:

  • Direct payroll cost during the outage window
  • Recovery time per employee once service returns
  • Backlog impact from queued work and delayed workflows
  • Total estimated cost of a single disruption event

What it doesn’t do

This tool estimates direct labor costs only. It doesn’t account for lost revenue, missed transactions, reputational exposure, or regulatory risk. In most outages, those costs are real, too.
