Video title
  1. 1
    Severity Level 1

    An error occurred, which has become a stopper to the production site which causes the service to be in-operational or non-functional, or which can cause data loss on the production system and there is no workaround procedure to handle this error. Included in this case is security breach; Data or Access overloaded; Hardware failure; etc.

  2. 2
    Severity Level 2

    The production site’s database system still operates normally, but there is a major function which does not operate in accordance with technical documents. Also there is no workaround to handle it. For example there is a problem arising from hardware and failover can not be executed.

  3. 3
    Severity Level 3

Uptime SLA

No Uptime Level Guarantee Max Tolerable Downtime (in hours) Supporting Technology
1 95.00% 438 Cold Standby
2 98.00% 175 Warm Standby
3 99.00% 87,6 Hot Standby
4 99.90% 8,76 High Availability

Cold Standby

Providing uptime level through system restoring the service through a backup hardware in condition from offline backup. Recovery also can be achieved using available hardware spare part as backup. Data backup is provided through offline (Full backup and Incremental backup).





Warm Standby

Software technology to support in providing high uptime level through database system restoration in hardware and system condition being turned on but not ready to service yet. This level implementation normally uses disk level replication, so the replica usually cannot be in service.





Hot Standby

Software technology to support in providing high Uptime Level through database system replication/mirroring from Master to Replica. The system is always on and ready in service, but usually only able to read. The system can be on active or passive condition, and can be promoted as the new Master through a certain mechanism manually, in relation to system conditions or specific policies.

High Availability

Software technology to support in providing high Uptime Level through preparing a backup database server which is replicated in real time with the Master database. Provisioning for High Availability capability is equipped with additional capacity of automatic failover in supporting Hot Standby implementation. This is the most standard level of Equnix’ delivery to the client.
