Availability challenges Challenges that relate to the uptime of the environment. These challenges could be due to hardware failure, environmental disaster, or many other factors. The key to availability is that you need to ensure that given the challenge, the system can take action to ensure proper recovery of the environment within recovery time and recovery point objectives.
