As you may be aware, we have three Availability Zones (AZ) in our platform. Each zone is a fully separate data center located 20km apart from each other. This design serves to ensure that you can deliver business-critical services with maximum uptime. In the unlikely event of an issue impacting one data center, your services will remain available through the other two.
We are delighted that our customers are taking full advantage of the redundancy provided by our three Availability Zones. That is why we do not charge for traffic between them.
We are thrilled to announce that we have recently upgraded our network between data centers to Ludicrous Speed! This upgrade guarantees robust and rapid communication between our data centers, both now and in the future. To achieve this, we have invested in the latest 400Gb Ethernet standard for our data center interconnects (DCI) and are now operating at 1600Gb from each AZ, ensuring a long-term, high-capacity network.
Increased security
To ensure top-notch availability and performance, we have always utilized dedicated fiber connections between our AZs. While the possibility may be low, it is important to note that fiber connections can be compromised, and unencrypted traffic can potentially be viewed by unauthorized parties. As a precaution, we have taken steps to encrypt all data transmitted between our AZs, similar to how we already encrypt our storage. Our new DCIs now include MACsec encryption as a standard across the connections linking our AZs.
Our ultimate goal is to offer our clients the most advanced and secure tools for running their applications. With this enhanced security measure in place, we are proud to offer an even higher level of protection.
