Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
Guaranteed uptime of Puzzel Digital Engagement is 99.8%
Approach to resilience
All components in Puzzel's infrastructure are redundant by design. There are three levels of redundancy built into the infrastructure;

Component resilience:
Every component in the infrastructure has built in resilience within the unit. This might be as double power adaptors, double network cards, mirrored disks more than one CPU etc.

Load balancing:
All critical infrastructure such as web-servers and application servers are load-balanced allowing operational systems even if components/ servers fail. For components not suited for load-balancing such as databases, advanced synchronization mechanisms are used between the active server and passive servers. This prevents data loss and minimal disruption on fail-over.

Geo-redundancy:
All systems can be run at full capacity from either instance allowing a full outage of either of the data centres. DC2 will take on the services of DC1 in case of a full outage of DC1.
Outage reporting
Email alerts to nominated customer contacts together with a public dashboard showing service availability and status of any ongoing incidents.
