MindCentric - MindCentric Managed Services - Zimbra Hosted - Cloud computing - Virtual Servers - Managed Hosting

Our data centers are inter-connected with a private OC-192 fiber ring between San Diego (3 San Diego data centers), Los Angeles and Phoenix which mean even though these locations are up to 400 miles apart they are connected on private network as if servers in each are sitting side-by-side, so you have a high availability and disaster recovery solution with blazing fast speed.  It is also highest security as it is cross-connected on a private network verse going across the public Internet.

The multiple-building, multiple data center, and multiple state architecture with fully independent infrastructure (separate power grids, networks, etc) provides more flexible and affordable high availability options. For customers with mission critical transaction or data a high availability solution can be designed to meet your technical, business, and financial objectives.

MindCentric can help you determine the correct high availability solution for your business.  If you need high availability, business continuity, disaster avoidance, disaster recovery, data security, dynamic fail over, database failover, application continuity, or remote standby site or database standby, we can help by providing the technical pros and cons, and budgetary information you need to determine the best solution for your business.

Build what you need:

This consists of infrastructure installed in at least two geographically diverse datacenters: production server infrastructure installed at the backup facility must be functionally equivalent to the infrastructure at the primary, but it does not necessarily have to be identical.  Each facility should be sized to handle the required application load.

Platform High Availability – 99.99% - 99.999% (risk 4 minutes – 25 seconds of downtime)

This consists of no single point of failure and will include redundant firewalls, load balancers, switches, web servers, application servers, database servers, and any other servers or devices that are vital to the operation of the production system.

System High Availability - 99.9% (risk 43 minutes of downtime)

This consists of redundant web servers, application servers, database servers, and any other servers that are vital to the operation of the production system.  The firewalls, load balancers, and, switches non-redundant, as the failure rate is less with this type of equipment.

High Availability – 99.5% (risk 3.6 hours of downtime)

This consists of a fully redundant data center (power, ups, air conditioning, fire systems, etc.) with redundant Internet service providers and routes to the Internet.  The system itself that includes the servers and other devices are non-redundant.
