Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
- Where the service is hosted by us, it is delivered on resilient cloud infrastructure designed to support availability targets of up to 99.95% uptime, excluding planned maintenance. Availability targets, monitoring arrangements and any associated service credits are agreed with buyers at call-off, taking into account the hosting and support arrangements in place. Planned maintenance is scheduled to minimise disruption wherever possible.
- Approach to resilience
-
The service is designed to be resilient through the use of established cloud infrastructure and operational best practice. Where the service is hosted by us, the platform is hosted within professionally managed datacentres that provide resilient power, networking and physical security, with redundancy built into core infrastructure components.
Service resilience is supported through monitoring, automated alerts and routine maintenance processes intended to identify and address issues early. Regular backups are taken to protect against data loss and support recovery where required.
The service is deployed in isolated environments to reduce the risk of cross-customer impact, and capacity is managed to support consistent performance. Planned maintenance activities are scheduled to minimise disruption to users.
Further details about the underlying datacentre resilience and business continuity arrangements can be provided to buyers on request, where appropriate, to support assurance and risk management requirements. - Outage reporting
-
Service availability is monitored continuously using automated uptime and performance monitoring tools. Where an outage or service degradation is detected, alerts are triggered and notifications are issued through agreed channels.
Notifications can include email alerts to named contacts, updates to agreed collaboration channels such as Slack, and optional mobile notifications where required. During an incident, progress updates are provided until the issue is resolved.
Outage reporting and notification arrangements are agreed with buyers as part of the service setup or support agreement. The service does not rely on a public status dashboard as standard, but availability information and incident summaries can be shared directly with users or provided on request.
