## Infrastructure availability
|
|
|
|
This is version **1.0 of the ungleich infrastructure availability definition**.
|
|
|
|
Depending on your project or business case you have different
|
|
availbility requirements. At ungleich we accomodate the range
|
|
from "can be offline for a while" up to "is mission critical".
|
|
We orientate ourselves on the It standard availability definitions
|
|
"availability per year". The following table gives an overview of
|
|
typical availability rates:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
| % | Accepted downtime / year |
|
|
|--------+--------------------------|
|
|
| 98 | 175.2h or 7.3 days |
|
|
| 99 | 87.6h or 3.65 days |
|
|
| 99.9 | 8.76h |
|
|
| 99.99 | 0.876h or 52.55 minutes |
|
|
| 99.999 | 5.25 minutes |
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## General availability
|
|
|
|
If not otherwise specified, the **target availability** for every
|
|
service is 99.9%. This availability is **not guaranteed by
|
|
default**. However we offer **guaranteed availability** for a range of
|
|
our products.
|
|
|
|
## Guaranteed availability
|
|
|
|
We can guarantee availability of individual services depending on your
|
|
needs. As every customer need and product is individual, you can
|
|
[ask for an individual offer](/u/contact/) for your services.
|
|
|
|
## High Availability Methods
|
|
|
|
To improve the default availability, we offer a variety of
|
|
add-ons. Depending on the booked service, different methods are
|
|
applicable. In this section we describe the general methods we offer.
|
|
|
|
### Redundant storage
|
|
|
|
By default all data is replicated 3 times accross our decentralised
|
|
storage system. This protects against disk failures like a traditional
|
|
RAID system does. Note that this does not protect against
|
|
unintentional deletion, for this you require a backup.
|
|
|
|
### Offsite backup
|
|
|
|
To allow disaster recovery, we offer [offsite backups](../backup/)
|
|
for most of our services. The data is stored in a physical different
|
|
location so that even physical damage to a data center will allow you
|
|
to restore your data.
|
|
|
|
### Dedicated Internet uplinks and IP blocks
|
|
|
|
To protect you against DDoS and impacts on our general infrastructure,
|
|
we offer dedicated Internet uplinks that are reserved for your
|
|
service. This includes a /48 IPv6 address block by default for BGP
|
|
announcement. A /24 IPv4 address block for indidivual BGP announcement
|
|
can be added at an extra service cost.
|
|
|
|
### Redundant services / High availability (HA)
|
|
|
|
We realise high availability (HA) using redundant services. These
|
|
services can be placed in the same geographic or different geographic
|
|
data centers. Depending on the service architecture we offer
|
|
Cold-Standby, Hot-Standby or active-active services.
|
|
|
|
With different geographic locations separate data storage is included
|
|
by default. For services in the same location, an optional separate
|
|
data storage is also available.
|
|
|
|
### Load Balancing
|
|
|
|
For services that allow multiple backends, we offer load balancing
|
|
services to distribute the traffic. This can be combined with
|
|
dedicated uplinks per location, indivual IP address blocks and
|
|
distributed application deployments in multiple locations. You can
|
|
also easily realise [blue green
|
|
deployments](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue-green_deployment) or
|
|
[Canary releases](https://martinfowler.com/bliki/CanaryRelease.html).
