Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
-
To protect the service availability the system has been designed so that in the event of a single VM host failure, access to all other instances is still available. This is achieved by having redundant servers and routing. This approach gives an expected availability of better than 99.999% or ‘five nines’, which equates to less than 5 minutes unplanned downtime per year.
Redundant routing is provided by the public Internet DNS.
To protect against the loss of one or more instances due to the failure of a VM host, there is the option for redundant operation of the core applications. This is provided by provisioning a clustered application instance. Again, this gives an expected availability of better than 99.999%. - Approach to resilience
- The redundancy described above contributes to the resilience of the service. Local and offsite data backups stretching back 30 days are also made to offer protection from accidental data loss and the ability to recover from a catastrophic event.
- Outage reporting

Covid-19 recoveryCovid-19 recovery
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a major impact on all of us. Many European countries have had a first and second lockdown, the vaccinations have started and we all hope that we can return to our ‘old normal’ as soon as possible. Each country does this at its own pace and with its own rules. But a few things are certain. Together we must ensure a safe and hygienic situation and we must take the ‘social distancing rules’ into account.
This also affects ‘working in the office’. So, how do we manage the number of people in the office? In the building itself, but also in the meeting rooms, the reception area and the workplace. How do we ensure that employees keep sufficient space from each other? How do we provide a safe and hygienic working place? But, most important, how do we ensure that this is all properly arranged before your colleagues literally enter the building?
GoBright offers software solutions that guarantee a safe working environment. With our digital Room Booking, Desk Booking and Visitor Management solutions, you and your colleagues can book a workplace or meeting room in advance, from your home. And visitors can also be pre-registered.
