Where 8,760 fits
Why 8,760 is special
8760 is the denominator behind a great deal of infrastructure arithmetic. Energy is priced and metered per hour, so annual consumption divides by 8,760; availability targets are quoted against it, which is why 99.9% uptime means about 8.8 hours of outage a year. A leap year has 8,784.

Availability targets are quoted against the 8,760 hours in a year, which is why the familiar figures translate as they do: 99% allows about 88 hours of downtime a year, 99.9% about 8.8 hours, and 99.99% about 53 minutes. Each additional nine costs an order of magnitude more engineering for an order of magnitude less outage.
