Data Location
Please be aware that in order to build a secure and resilient system, we replicate your data to multiple geographic locations, both inside and outside the European Union.
Replication
We operate a cluster of servers, each server has its own web server, database server, software etc., in a fully parallel and redundant manner. Should one fail, we will simply take it out of service for maintenance, leaving multiple others to take over the work load. In having multiple server nodes in this manner, allows us to load balance web traffic between our clustered service.
Cluster Server Nodes List
A current list of server nodes within our cluster is located on our About Our Infrastructure page.
