Katkestustevaba

Katkestustevaba is an Estonian adjective meaning “uninterrupted” or “free of interruptions,” used primarily in technical and business language to describe systems, processes, or services designed to operate continuously without downtime. The word is formed from katkestus (interruption) and the suffix -evaba, meaning “without,” giving a sense of reliability and fault tolerance.

In IT and telecommunications, katkestustevaba describes architectures that aim for continuous availability. Key features include redundancy of components, automatic failover, data replication, clustering, and redundant power and network paths, as well as monitoring and incident response processes that minimize service gaps.

Organizations market katkestustevaba capabilities for critical operations such as financial services, healthcare, and e-commerce, where downtime can have significant costs. Practically, this often translates to using high-availability designs, service-level agreements with 24/7 support, and infrastructure such as uninterruptible power supplies, hot or warm standby environments, and cloud-based multi-region deployments.

While no system can guarantee absolute uninterrupted operation, katkestustevaba approaches emphasize minimizing downtime, rapid recovery, and transparency about remaining risk, with performance and reliability metrics expressed as uptime percentages and recovery time objectives.
