My last post about the need for 99.99% system availability in airports generated a lot of buzz – both within the aviation industry and beyond.
I want to address another critical aspect of airport technology: disaster recovery. It’s unacceptable that 24-hour recovery SLAs are still the norm. Imagine the chaos: a major system failure strands passengers, disrupts flight schedules, and creates a logistical nightmare. The impact on travelers and the airport’s reputation is immense.
In today’s world, your SaaS provider should be able to get your airport systems back up and running in less than an hour after any disaster. And with the right architecture, it’s entirely achievable.
At AirportLabs, we can commit to rapid disaster recovery. We own our tech stack, which allows us to leverage multi-cloud in order to avoid even total cloud platform failure. Our builds are fully automated, and our entire infrastructure is defined as code, enabling us to recreate our environment rapidly and reliably. This, combined with automated deployments, ensures a swift and consistent recovery process. We maintain real-time off-site data streams for immediate availability, and our expert team is ready to manage any incident, 24/7.
My advice? Demand more from your technology providers. Put sub-hour disaster recovery SLAs in your tenders! The future of air travel depends on it.
