Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
Cloud hosting is 99.99% available. Software availability is slightly less than this to cater for maintenance and upgrades out of hours
Approach to resilience
All servers provided as part of the flexible hosting platform are provided as virtual machines (VMs), based on VMware as the hypervisor layer. There are multiple physical servers in each VMware cluster (hosts), which run the VMs and these are configured with VMware High Availability. This means that in the unlikely event that a physical host fails, the guest VMs which were running on that host will be restarted on another host in a matter of a few minutes.
Outage reporting
In the event of a major incident, which includes any complete outage of application delivery for any reason, the Major Incident (MI) process is followed; this includes SMS and e-mail notification of the MI to all designated MI contacts, the establishment of an MI communications plan, resolver groups etc
