99.999% financially backed SLA
ETRN believes in giving our customers the best service possible. So we provide your business with a financially backed 99.999% (five nines) uptime service level agreement for all our services.
A 99.999% uptime SLA means that you should expect less than six minutes of downtime over the course of a year—and, if we should fail to deliver, we’ll compensate you for it.
Our competitors—including Office 365—only offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee. That's just three nines. And while that difference may not seem significant, the difference actually amounts to downtime of over 8 hours.
| Availability % | Downtime per year |
|---|---|
| 99.8% | 17.52 hours |
| 99.9% (“three nines”) | 8.76 hours |
| 99.95% | 4.38 hours |
| 99.99% (“four nines”) | 52.56 minutes |
| 99.999% (“five nines”) | 5.26 minutes |

How would your business suffer if you couldn’t communicate with your customers or coworkers for a whole day? Or even half a day? With ETRN’s five-nines uptime guarantee, you won’t have to find out.

We Answer Your Questions: FAQ
Q: What is the maximum e-mail attachment size?
A: The ETRN.com e-mail servers do not limit the size of individual e-mail attachments. The ETRN.com e-mail servers do impose a 400 MB maximum total message size limit. Individual customers can choose a smaller message size limit. We can also customize the handling of "over-sized" e-mails. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs. A couple of important facts:
1. Attachments are typically encoded in what is called Base64[1]. As a result, the actual length of MIME-compliant Base64-encoded binary data is usually about 137% of the original file size.
2. E-mails often contain both plain text and HTML components. This also increases the overall size of the e-mail.
