Section 4.5.3 Priority Level for Web Server Availability
A priority level for availability shall be assigned to all
Servers at the time they are registered. This level (high, medium, low, none)
shall be used to determine whether a Server should be monitored for
availability of the computer that runs the Server, the availability of the
Server, and the accessibility of the Content hosted on or accessed by that
Server. The priority level for availability shall also determine how frequently
a Server is monitored. In some cases, the priority level (eg. high priority)
may indicate the action to be taken when a monitored Server is found to be
unavailable or its Content or service inaccessible. The action to be taken may
include notifying the appropriate Head of Office when a Server is reported
unavailable over an extended period of time, or repeatedly unavailable for
short periods of time.
It is recommended that when a Server is assigned a high priority
level of availability, certain requirements should be met by the organisation
responsible for providing the Server. These requirements may include hardware
and software standards (eg. age of hardware, maintenance contracts, UPS,
multiple processors, multiple power supplies) and acceptable levels of
technical support (eg. on call). In some cases (eg. Central MurdochNet
Servers), an alternate physical computer host housed in alternate physical
location may be a requirement of a Disaster Recovery & Service Continuity
Strategy.
