Cloud Hosting – Service Level Agreement
Databases hosted on CONNECTHR enjoy the following service at all times
Uptime
- Customer databases are hosted in the closest CONNECTHR region (EMEA: India, Singapore and UK)
- We keep replicate each customer database in real-time on redundant storage located in the same data center
- As we deliver solutions internationally, we work with different hosting providers worldwide that always deliver at least 99.9% uptime guarantee.
- In the cloud hosting, we can guarantee a minimum of 99.9% uptime (3 nines, excluding planned maintenance) *
- This corresponds to a maximum unplanned downtime of 1.44min/24h or 8h/year.
High Availability:
Our data centers are Tier-III certified or equivalent, with N+1 redundancy for power and network
Each customer database is replicated in real-time on redundant storage located in the same data center.
Backups & Disaster Recovery:
14 full backups up to 3 months: 1 per day for 7 days, 1 per week for 4 weeks, 1 per month for 3 months
Users can download manual backups of their live data.
Permanent disaster will impact one server only, our Disaster Recovery Plan has the following metrics:
RPO (Recovery Point Objective) = 15 minutes, you can lose maximum 15 minutes of work.
RTO (Recovery Time Objective) = 60 minutes, the service will be back online within maximum of 60 minutes (Standby promotion time + DNS propagation time included) unless there is a local/ domestic issue with your power provider.
For data center disasters (In case, one entire data center is completely and permanently down), Disaster Recovery Plan has these metrics:
RPO (Recovery Point Objective) = 24 hour, you can lose maximum 24 hour of work if the data cannot be recovered and we need to restore the last daily backup
RTO (Recovery Time Objective) = 24 hour, the service will be restored from the backup within 24 hours in a different data center.
For any force majeure issue.
