User workloads are not affected by other users placing a demand on the service.

99.9% -
We work with service credits and based on the month availability we give them a discount in their hosting costs. See below:
99.25% - 99.90% > 5%.
98.75% - 99.24% > 10%.
Less than 98.75% > 15%. - Approach to resilience
-
Client workloads can sit across 3 AWS availability-zones (data centres) within the UK region. Our solution is designed to leverage AWS's multi-AZ offering in such a way that if one availability zone fails – the instances in the other availability zone will become active.
Workloads can be restored into the active availability zone whilst the failed availability zone is restored.
This provides the benefit of allowing our customers who have infrastructure spread across more than one zone are better able to deal with outages in application downtime. - Outage reporting
