    Description

    January 02, 2017 7:05 PM 7:16 PM 11 We experienced a simultaneous network device failure on our backbone infrastructure. As a result of this failure, a failover to the adjacent redundant network device took place.  Due to a network component configuration setup the failover took longer than expected and caused the system disruption.

    February 02, 2017 8:03 PM 8:36 PM 33 Ex Libris engineers identified a malfunction in our maintenance activity scheduling that caused multiple maintenance tasks to run in parallel rather in sequence. This caused service degradation.
    February 28, 2017 10:18 AM 10:56 AM 12 We experienced a network device failure on our backbone infrastructure. The outage was due to hardware problem that caused interruptions to production traffic flow in our datacenter network – due to the short intermediate interruptions (2-3 minutes), full failover process to redundant devices was not initiated. To resolve the issue Ex Libris engineers worked with the vendor support to replace the device.

    How is Uptime Calculated?

    The uptime calculation is based on the following calculation (as defined in the Alma Service Level Agreement):

    "Uptime" means the total period in minutes during which the Service is available for access and use during this period.

     

    Uptime Percentage” means Uptime expressed as a percentage, calculated in accordance with the following formula:   

      

     Uptime Percentage = X /(Y–Z) × 100    

    Where: 

      X = Uptime

      Y = Last 12 months period

      Z = The duration (in minutes) of any SLA Exclusions* during these 12 months

     

    *SLA exclusions are defined in the contract SLA (e.g. Scheduled maintenance, etc.)
