Scaling

Independence of resources
The advantage of the iboss cloud platform is the use of horizontal scaling vs. "larger" gateways. By using horizontal scaling, additional work units (containerized gateways) are added as capacity demands increase. This allows for infinite scale as bandwidth continues into the Terabit era. For each additional containerized gateway that is added automatically to a customer's containerized gateway collection, additional work unit capacity is added for both bandwidth and cloud requests. This increase in capacity is tightly measured as the capacity of each containerized gateway is known. The Containerized Cloud Gateway architecture provides a multi-tenant platform without a shared data plan

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
Iboss will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Service will have an Availability of 99.99999% as measured over each calendar month during the Term. In the event of a Service Level Failure, the customer will be eligible to receive the applicable Service Credit according to the terms set forth in this SLA.
Approach to resilience
The iboss cloud infrastructure is built with High Availability in mind and is native to the Node-based architecture. From the ability to have work units automatically expand horizontally to load balancing, the platform is designed for full redundancy and high availability. User deployments are set up to dynamically redirect traffic to the cloud in the closest resource while providing the highest level of performance and availability. If any gateway is out of service, traffic is automatically routed to the other available gateways. iboss also partners with top-tier Data Centers that meet SSAE 16 SOC1 and SOC 2 compliance and our Security Analysts monitor the network 24/7 leveraging real-time monitoring tools.
Outage reporting
If the client is impacted due to an outage, iboss will push the notification through an email distribution list and the change will be posted on iboss's website. Notifications of any significant outages will occur via email and phone confirmation. Maintenance of the platform is also fully controlled by the customer and can be scheduled or manually instigated to suit the customer maintenance windows.
