Availability and resilience

• Guaranteed availability: As our platform is cloud based and hosted in AWS the Recorded Future platform provides an uptime of above 99.9%. We currently do not have planned downtime as calendar items, however where there is a major upgrade we always notify customers of the ongoing work, along with potential services impacted and for how long.
• Approach to resilience: AWS has identified critical system components required to maintain the availability of our system and recover service in the event of outage. Critical system components are backed up across multiple, isolated locations known as Availability Zones. Each Availability Zone is engineered to operate independently with high reliability. Availability Zones are connected to enable you to easily architect applications that automatically fail-over between Availability Zones without interruption. Highly resilient systems, and therefore service availability, is a function of the system design. Through the use of Availability Zones and data replication, AWS customers can achieve extremely short recovery time and recovery point objectives, as well as the highest levels of service availability.
