- Approach to resilience
-
"Our hosting partners’ services are deployed across a number of sites, regions and zones. Each zone is designed to eliminate single points of failure (such as power, network and hardware). We design solutions to ensure they span multiple sites, regions or zones to ensure service continuity should a failure occur.
Each datacenter is built to physical, environmental, and security standards in an active-active configuration, employing an n+1 redundancy model, ensuring system availability in the event of component failure. Components (N) have at least one independent backup component. All datacenters are online and serving traffic. In case of failure, there is sufficient capacity to enable traffic to be load-balanced to the remaining sites." - Outage reporting
- All outages will be reported via the platforms’ Service Status page and the notifications service within the platform providers’ portals.
