RingGo is on a single, fully redundant platform. The redundancy is provided by an 'always on availability group' database architecture spread over two or more AWS availability zones. Application load will be hosted across multiple availability zones in auto-scaling groups to provide both resilience and scalability to handle peak time load. This brings modern resilience techniques to the platform which reduces the manual intervention required in the event of a failure in any component.; AWS replicates critical system components across multiple Availability Zones (there are 3 in the UK) and authoritative backups are maintained and monitored to ensure successful replication.
• Approach to resilience: RingGo operates to a 99.8% availability KPI. We consistently exceed this, frequently achieving 100% availability including no planned downtime. Further information is available upon request.
• Outage reporting: RingGo have numerous error traps and monitoring sensors on different parts of the service covering; servers, operating-system, ports, database, payments, volumes, application, connectivity. All of these sensors feed into a proprietary software package which is a highly sophisticated program that sits above all of the other technology and watches and monitors the performance of the components and the flow of data constantly looking for any unusual activity. Where a potential fault is identified by our system monitoring or is directly raised by an end-user or Client, RingGo will immediately investigate and broadcast any issues. A priority will be assigned based on its severity and impact. Notifications will be emailed to an agreed distribution list within the Client with details; issue, when it happened, time to resolve, when resolved or estimate, what caused it, and what prevention measures will be added to prevent the issue from taking place again.
