Section 4.5 Availability of Web Servers
Continuous Availability
MurdochNet should be accessible at all hours, all days of
the year. To meet this level of service, the computers used to run MurdochNet
Servers and Affiliated Web Servers, as well as other computers hosting content
accessed by those Servers (eg. strategic databases), should be continuously
available (ie. 24x7x365).
In order to meet the requirement for continuous
availability, all MurdochNet Servers and Affiliated Web Servers used to host or
provide access to University Content should have a Disaster Recovery
& Service Continuity
Strategy in place. It is recommended that such a strategy include the
use of hardware and software solutions (eg. an Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS)) and other facilities such as alternate computer host in a separate
physical location.
Exceptions
MurdochNet Servers that are used to host Associated Content,
such as Individual Web Servers run by individuals (ie. staff, students and
other persons formally affiliated with, or recognised as beingn associated with
the University), shall be exempt from the requirement for continuous
availability and use of a Disaster Recovery & Service Continuity
Strategy. Servers run by the
Guild and by student clubs and societies shall also be exempt from this
requirement.
However, this exception should not apply to any such Servers
that have been authorised to perform the role of an Internet Content Host.
