Scaling

Independence of resources
The infrastructure within AWS supports customers of all sizes. 
Data centres are built in clusters in various global regions. All data centres are online; no data centre is “cold.” In case of failure, automated processes move customer data traffic away from the affected area. 

Core applications are deployed in an N+1 configuration. In the event of a data centre failure, there is sufficient capacity to enable traffic load balanced to the remaining sites, maintaining system uptime during updates. 

AWS provides the flexibility to place instances and store data within multiple geographic regions and across multiple availability zones within each region.

Approach to resilience
Multi-tenant platforms have built-in fault-tolerance— failover with backup in the event of a system malfunction—that multi-instance platforms do not have. 

With Amazon Web Services (AWS) at the core of the platform, you’re assured access to your systems, data remains secure and available, and you have access to the resources you need to serve your customers. AWS offers server redundancies, ensuring that if one server goes down, a system is up and running on another server within four seconds. 

Calabrio ONE Cloud Contact Centre Workforce Optimisation defines availability through our 99.9% uptime guarantee, as stated in the Calabrio Cloud MSA. Infrastructure that has been mentioned above, with technologies such as AWS availability zones and S3 storage ensure high availability.

Business Systems's ISO 27001 certification covers the full scope of the business including all systems, operations and personnel. All security incidents posing a threat to the information storage and processing facilities are reported and documented. For each reported incident it is required that a thorough investigation is conducted and remedial action taken leading to a satisfactory closure. All employees and contractors are made aware of what constitutes an information security incident and are familiar with the reporting procedures. It is the responsibility of all employees and subcontractors to report any information security incident or suspicion to the ISO Security Officer and ensure that the incident is duly recorded on the Information Security Incident form. It is the responsibility of the Security Incident Management to take appropriate action to provide a prompt response to the incident and to facilitate normal operation as soon as safely possible. This is overseen by the Board.
