A (Accessibility) – service accessibility coefficient;

AST (agreed service time) – agreed time for service provision;

DT (actual downtime during agreed service time) - the sum of downtime for a period.

Total downtime does not involve cases caused by:

Planned downtime in the framework of the scheduled maintenance work, as well as other works previously agreed with the Customer. Including the suspensions of operation of the Virtual Machines to change the parameters of the provided Service;
Unserviceability of communication channels and equipment outside the zone of responsibility / control of the Executor;
