How mCloud Ensures 99.995% Uptime: Redundancy, Failover & Disaster Recovery
High-Availability Cloud Infrastructure
mCloud is built for maximum uptime and fault tolerance, ensuring 99.995% availability for mission-critical workloads. With multi-site redundancy, real-time replication, and automated failover, mCloud is engineered to prevent downtime and keep workloads running even in the event of hardware or data centre failuresmCloud Questions (1).
Key Features for 99.995% Uptime
✅ Multi-Site Redundancy – Workloads can be replicated across three geographically separated Tier IV data centres.
✅ Automated Failover & Recovery – If a failure occurs, virtual machines restart automatically in another location.
✅ Ceph-Based Real-Time Data Replication – Data is mirrored instantly across independent Ceph storage clusters, ensuring no data loss.
✅ Triple Active Network Architecture – mCloud’s network uses VXLAN & eVPN to maintain seamless IP continuity across sites.
✅ Disaster-Proof Data Centres – Power, cooling, and security are fully independent at each data centre, eliminating single points of failure.
How mCloud Ensures High Availability
1. Geographically Redundant Data Centres
mCloud workloads can be hosted in three Melbourne-based data centres (Kilsyth, Melbourne CBD, Port Melbourne).
Data centres are physically separated by 45km for true fault isolation.
Each site has independent power grids, cooling, and networking infrastructure, reducing the risk of simultaneous failures.
2. Real-Time Storage Replication
Ceph’s 3N replication model ensures that each data write is stored three times across different physical locations.
This design provides instant failover capabilities, keeping workloads running even in catastrophic failuresmCloud Questions (1).
3. Intelligent Network Failover
mCloud’s Cisco Datacentre Leaf & Spine 9K network ensures automatic rerouting in case of network failure.
Anycast gateway technology enables a single public IP address to function across multiple locations, ensuring seamless connectivity.
VXLAN & eVPN technology create a triple-active network, meaning workloads stay connected regardless of where they are running.
Use Cases for High-Availability mCloud
☑ Financial Services & Government Agencies – Continuous uptime for compliance and security-critical workloads.
☑ SaaS & E-Commerce Platforms – Minimize downtime risks and maintain uninterrupted service.
☑ AI & High-Performance Computing – Prevent data loss and ensure processing continuity.
☑ Healthcare & Legal Sectors – Maintain secure, always-on access to sensitive records.
Why mCloud’s Uptime Guarantee Matters
✅ Zero Single Points of Failure – Compute, storage, and networking infrastructure are fully redundant.
✅ Disaster Recovery & Failover Protection – Workloads automatically restart on new hardware in case of an issue.
✅ ISO 27001 & Australian Data Sovereignty Compliance – Security-first approach for mission-critical workloads.
