Availability is the process of optimizing the
readiness of information systems by
accurately measuring, analyzing, and
reducing outages to information systems.
Similarity
Measured by time in a year / month
The difference
Uptime is a measure of the time that
individual components within a production
system are functionally operating
Availability focuses on the production system
as a whole.

Slow response refers to unacceptably long
periods of time for an online transaction to
complete processing and return results to
the user
Downtime refers to the total inoperability
of a hardware device, a software routine,
or some other critical component of a
system that results in the outage of a
production application.
High availability refers to the design of a
production environment such that all single
points of failure are removed through
redundancy to eliminate production
outages
Fault tolerant refers to a production
environment in which all hardware and
software components are duplicated such
that they can automatically failover to
their backup component in the event of a
fault
