Disaster Recovery Plan

Data backup:    All application databases are configured for multi-data center replication in real time. Data centers are physically independent with unique ISPs and power suppliers, in addition to other key redundancies. At least hourly, complete snapshots from all database disk storage will be backed up to file storage.

Site availability: Since the Arc XP CDN is globally-distributed, a disaster scenario geographically centered around Arc XP’s primary cloud region will not impact site availability in other geographies. In the unlikely scenario of an origin system or rendering application outage, existing site content will continue to be served stale indefinitely from our edge computing network until services recover.

Application resiliency:    Arc XP rendering applications are stateless and managed across automatically scaling dockerized clusters. As a result, in a disaster scenario, Arc XP applications can easily be redeployed without extensive host configuration; data that these applications depend on will be recovered as described above. All requisite machine images will be maintained on a minimum of two cloud regions to facilitate a recovery scenario on an alternate region.

Overall recovery commitment:

In the event of a cloud provider data center outage, Arc XP will recover critical editorial and reader facing functionality within 2 hours.

In the event of a single cloud-provider whole-region outage, Arc XP will recover critical editorial and site functionality within 24 hours.
