There are many ways to spin the hourly cost of server down-time.
And, an equal number of reasons or things that can cause a server to fail.
The bottom line is it depends on the type of business, the function of servers
that fail and the number of employees that rely on servers in their daily task.
Not to mention that a failure of one server can affect many other servers.
The best and most accurate numbers are going to be those values calculated internally.
However, if your organization doesn't have a particular number for different types of servers,
the following list of reference links can be used to review the cost of
server downtime in different scenario's, types of servers and events. Some links
will also help you make your own calculations based on information
that can be retreived from SEC annual report filings or internal data available from the office
of the CFO.
