- 99.9% infrastructure availability target
Pro, Scale, and Performance target 99.9% infrastructure availability. This is an operational target, not a service-level guarantee.
Infrastructure-level HA protects the database engine and storage with RAID disk-failure protection, ECC DDR5 server memory, and automatic live storage migration or recovery when infrastructure fails. For database-level replicas, failover, or a custom HA design, contact us for a separately scoped, per-application setup.
Enterprise services can include a 99.9% infrastructure-availability SLA, agreed for the workload. Connection limits and enterprise capacity are negotiated as part of that design, including up to 5 TB of attached NVMe storage per instance. See the service-credit terms.
