Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
P1 - Urgent = Major service loss. Target initial response time 2 normal business hours, Target resolution time 6 normal business hours

P2 - High = Major service affecting. Target initial response time 4 normal business hours. Target resolution time 2 normal business days after initial response.

P3 - Medium = Minor service affecting. Target initial response time 24 normal business hours. Target resolution time 7 normal business days after initial response.

P4 - Low = Not service affecting. Target initial response time 24 normal business hours. Target resolution time next software release
Approach to resilience
We adopt a full ‘hot standby’ mirrored infrastructure at a secondary location. In the unlikely event of a total site failure situation, the system automatically switches to the secondary site; users will have no interruption to services.

Real-time backups are performed on all of our systems and databases. Our secondary site is a mirrored hot standby clone of the primary – each site has its own backup running.

In a total site failure event we have the ability to recover data right up to the point of failure automatically. Additionally we run heartbeat software between the two sites, which constantly monitor the health of the other. Should there be a P1 issue an automated failover is triggered.
