What was done

How to accomplish all clients requirement in terms of High-Availability? Detailed planning is required for the entire infrastructure. Resiliency and redundancy need to be applied everywhere to achieve a Continuous Service. Otherwise, the weakest link may fail, and all hard work will be for nothing.

We take a list of items under consideration:

  • All devices need to be in Pair’s, in Cluster, whether there are switches, routers, firewalls, load-balancers
  • Dynamic Routing Protocols
  • Correct configuration: Active/Active or Active/Standby
  • Resilient Patching – connections between network devices and servers need to be placed into multiple line cards
  • Redundant PSU’s, power sources, phases within comms rooms, including generators.
  • HSRP, VRRP, or Floating IP’s needs to be configured correctly and tested for fail-over. Good fail-over is seamless to users and applications.

There is a number of benefits to our customers when those steps are implemented correctly:

  • Operation System upgrade or maintenance can be performed at ease without an outage
  • Business operations are undisturbed
  • Active/Active configuration utilises all bandwidth and equipment
  • No disruption to Users or Application

Achievement

Our achievements stand as a testament to our unwavering commitment to our clients. Not a single client has faced any financial or reputational consequences due to service disruptions under our Continuous Service program. Adhering strictly to our SLA, none of our clients experienced more than 26 seconds of unmanaged downtime, a remarkable accomplishment showcasing the robustness of our network infrastructure solutions.

These outcomes emphasize the critical importance of investing in a resilient and reliable network infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted business operations.
