The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle , bandwidth utilization and much more. Status alerts are triggered the moment performance deviates from set parameters, enabling quick problem resolution and minimized downtime The time during which a computer is not functioning due to hardware, operating system or application program failure. .
