Data redundancy and disaster recovery are essential aspects of Accela’s commitment to our clients, ensuring that valuable and sensitive data is protected against loss or disruption. As a trusted partner of Microsoft, Accela leverages the redundancy capabilities of Microsoft Azure to deliver high levels of data redundancy. With Azure’s robust infrastructure and advanced data replication techniques, Accela ensures the reliability and continuity of services, minimizing the risk of data loss for our customers. We continually backup data to ensure it can be restored in case of system failures or other unexpected issues. This includes daily backups or even real-time replication, depending on the specifics of the deployment. We also store backup data in more than one physical location. Moreover, we have detailed disaster recovery plans in place that outline the procedures to follow in the event of various types of disasters. This includes a clear recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO), which specify the maximum acceptable amount of data loss (in terms of time) and the maximum acceptable length of time to restore service after a disaster, respectively. In addition, we use failover systems, which are standby systems that can automatically take over if the primary system fails. Finally, our disaster recovery plans are tested regularly to ensure that they are effective and that Accela staff are prepared to implement them if needed. For more information, please contact us.
