Data-in-transit protection
- Data protection between buyer and supplier networks
-
- IPsec or TLS VPN gateway
- Other
- Other protection between networks
- Each customer, or service is within its own context and so data between networks requires a physical exit point via a layer3 device, i.e. router when controls are not required, i.e. customer WAN to VoIP services, or via firewall when control and policy is required
- Data protection within supplier network
-
- IPsec or TLS VPN gateway
- Other
- Other protection within supplier network
- We operate a MPLS core with each network and customer existing in a dedicated routing instance which keeps traffic separated at layer2 and layer3 protocols.There is no inherit encryption on the network layers so if end to end encryption is required then IPSEC AES256 etc is used.
Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
- Service Availability is 99.80% for single DC solutions and 99.99% for dual DC solutions
- Approach to resilience
- Physical host and core network resilience are included as standard and application resiliency is optional. Physical Host: In the event of a disaster situation impacting the physical host that the Virtual Machine is sitting on, Daisy will automatically move the Virtual Machine across to a new host. This may cause interruption to service and may require a reboot of the virtual machine to restore full service. Core Network: Daisy's core network has resilient connectivity to our WAN providers over diverse interconnects which are located in different data centre's. They are set up using eBGP sessions to ensure an automatic failover should a disaster occur. Applications : Application resiliency can be achieved by configuring a second instance of the application in the secondary data center. This purchasable option is currently available for the MiVoice for Business, MBG SIP, MBG Teleworker, MBG SRC and MiCC IVR applications. In a disaster recovery situation if the applications suffer a loss of connectivity they will automatically failover to the second instance. In some scenario's manual intervention maybe required by Daisy to initiate the failover.
- Outage reporting
- We have monitoring tools in place to monitor the underlying infrastructure. The alerts are sent into the ECB (Event Correlation Bus) and this then enriches and adds context to the alerts and routes them into our ITSM tool. The ITSM tool then automatically generates a ticket and when a ticket is opened this automatically notifies the customer through email. Further options are available where the ECB tool can also alert the customer via email or SMS directly.
