Uptime
From ACT Wiki
Cash management - treasury - banking - finance - cyber risk - central bank digital currencies - outage.
Uptime means periods during which a system is available and operational.
Uptime is the opposite of an outage, or downtime.
- CBDC uptime targets may be 99.999%
- "Current RTGS and CHAPS services have a target uptime of at least 99.95%, and that would constitute a minimum expectation for Bank of England-managed CBDC infrastructure.
- However, we will explore whether a standard tailored to retail payments, where uptime targets are typically closer to 100%, would be appropriate and deliverable (in particular 99.999%).
- Uptime targets are only one element of payment system resilience, and this target would be complemented by best practice risk management processes and controls.
- There could also be minimum uptime requirements that PIPs and other service providers might need to meet."
