Has your organization implemented high-availability components such as redundant storage and power supplies to ensure system reliability?

Explanation

High-availability components help minimize system downtime by providing backup mechanisms that automatically take over when primary components fail. Examples include redundant storage arrays (RAID configurations), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), redundant network paths, and clustered servers configured for automatic failover. Evidence could include system architecture diagrams showing redundancy configurations, vendor documentation for high-availability solutions implemented, maintenance logs for redundant components, or results from failover testing that demonstrate the effectiveness of the redundant systems.

ResponseHub is the product I wish I had when I was a CTO

Previously I was co-founder and CTO of Progression, a VC backed HR-tech startup used by some of the biggest names in tech.

As our sales grew, security questionnaires quickly became one of my biggest pain-points. They were confusing, hard to delegate and arrived like London busses - 3 at a time!

I'm building ResponseHub so that other teams don't have to go through this. Leave the security questionnaires to us so you can get back to closing deals, shipping product and building your team.
