Accolade provides a comprehensive configuration layer allowing it to be tailored to the individual business use cases of each customer. This configuration approach is far better than customisation as it does not involve modifying any of the core product components.
Trained users can customise the configuration, but only when they are given appropriate access rights. Alternatively, many customers consider it more efficient to use our resources to make changes.
Scaling
- Independence of resources
- Environments are scoped with the customer during initial planning phases and are tested against specification during the implementation phases. Any subsequent changes to the customers usage requirements are scoped as required and changes in the provision of service are scheduled with the customer. Environments are additionally monitored allowing for any anomalies to be identified and investigated. Environments are highly scalable allowing for the largest of implementations.

We only use “Tier 3” data centres, which are considered the gold standard for cloud storage. A Tier 3 (or Level 3) data centre is a location with redundant and dual-powered servers, storage, network links, and other IT components. It is one of the most commonly used data centre tiers, where IT components are powered with multiple, active and independent sources of power and cooling resources.
For Private Cloud a number of options enable you to build resilience into your applications. We offer Private Cloud Compute from two geographically distinct sites, both located in the UK and separated by over 100km for excellent geo-diversity. - Outage reporting
