5.2 MMW ensures maximum availability of its Internet platform with great effort:

  • The Internet servers are operated in a dedicated data center that is responsible for monitoring and maintaining the servers.
  • All critical components in the area of the server hardware are designed redundantly.

From the point of view of the business processes supported by the online platform, those functions that are used at the point of sale are particularly important. A distinction is therefore made between the following classes of system failures:

If the system availability is reduced, the POS functions, in particular the registration of goods and the reporting of sales services, are still available.
  • Unavailability of the system: failure of all system functions The system is then unavailable if all system functions have failed or the Internet address www.markenmehrwert.com cannot be reached. MMW assists through all state-of-the-art measures and by concluding service agreements ensures its suppliers the following system availability and maximum downtime:
  • Reduced system availability: Maximum 3{cfff72d6d95042e6f753682ec02e29a34dcfaebe1d434aa94bfa4b784e006474} of the intended operating time, maximum downtime 18 hours
  • System unavailability: Maximum 1{cfff72d6d95042e6f753682ec02e29a34dcfaebe1d434aa94bfa4b784e006474} of the intended operating time, maximum downtime 6 hours
