SOLICITATION # CH16012 thick client platforms through either standard web technologies or through the hybris OCC REST web service APIs. SuccessFactors Our solution was designed from the outset for high availability. We provide a system availability SLA of 99.5%. Every component (hardware and software) is completely redundant. There is a redundant piece of equipment or software for every hardware or software component for every layer of the infrastructure stack (server, software and network). We load balance at every tier in the infrastructure, from the network to the database servers. F5 load balancers are used to route traffic to an available web server to process the request. Application server clusters are enabled so that servers can fail without interrupting the user experience. We maintain an N+1 approach for all equipment in the hosted cloud environment, so that there is never a single point of failure. All customer database backups are encrypted and streamed in a secure manner from the customer's "primary" data center to their "alternate" data center, allowing for a timely restoration of service in the event of disaster. Based on the terms of the agreement, we will designate one of the data centers as the customer's "primary" data center, with an additional data center designated as the "alternate" for data redundancy and disaster recovery purposes. Load balancers will automatically detect a software or hardware error and take the servers out of service if needed without interrupting the user experience or application. They also allow capacity addition or reduction without interrupting service. All of the JBOSS application servers are clustered. Each is designated as a primary and a secondary, so any application server can fail without any loss of service or interruption of the application or user experience. The database servers are also clustered using a Veritas high availability cluster. The Veritas suite will detect any hardware or software errors in the database machines and automatically fail them over to a standby server VMware VMware's IaaS offerings complies with the Broad Network Access characteristic. All fo these products' capabilities are available over the public internet and can be used by heterogeneous thin or thick client platforms. Consumers only need internet access to access these resources. Additional capabilities exist including the ability to secure communications over the public internet including IPSEC VPN, SSL Client VPN, and the ability to consume via WAN connectivity. VMware's SaaS offering AirWatch can be accessed over the internet or private network through standard mechanisms. FireEye All FireEye cloud offerings included in this response meet the definition of broad network access. Each of the solutions performs its designed functionality over standard internet-facing services and is accessible via a web browser from any internet connected device when valid credentials are provided. VirtueStream Virtustream IaaS provides Broad Network Access, where it can provide landing zone for any private network (Point -to -Point, Virtual Private Label Switching, Multi -Protocol Label Switching, or Direct Connect), public network (Internet, Trusted Internet Connectivity as landing zone, IPSEC VPN and SSL VPN) and also extranet connectivity (shared network, i.e, Cloud Connect, Cloud Exchange, etc.) which is growing rapidly as option for connecting cloud resources. 8.1.2.3 NIST Characteristic - Resource Pooling: Provide a brief written description of how the cloud solutions proposed satisfies this individual essential NIST Characteristic.
