The service hosting is deployed using resources with built in head room and this demand is continually monitored against future demand and current utilisation which ensures there are no bottlenecks and that increased capacity is deployed as the volume and take up of services increase.

The service is deployed with resources such as CPU,Memory and disk storage dedicated to the specific end customer users.
