Name/Id: ACF1279 / Microsoft Managed Control 1279 Category: Contingency Planning Title: Telecommunications Services Ownership: Microsoft Description: The organization establishes alternate telecommunications services including necessary agreements to permit the resumption of All information system operations for essential missions and business functions within Recovery time objectives identified in BCPs when the primary telecommunications capabilities are unavailable at either the primary or alternate processing or storage sites. Requirements: Azure is responsible for ensuring continuity of its telecommunications services through the process of utilizing diverse fiber routes and redundant hardware to provide maximum availability at each datacenter. Each datacenter represented as part of the Azure boundary is active, independent from all other datacenters, and fully operational with the ability to provide services at any time. Critical problems are defined as incidents or outages, other than caused by an Excused Outage, which cause a Microsoft Equipment failure, as a result of which Microsoft cannot receive any data. In addition to the active datacenter configuration, and as an ISP whose purpose is to exclusively host online services, Azure maintains a global fiber backbone comparable to multiple commercial ISPs. Some fiber routes have triple redundancy but all have a minimum of double redundancy. Azure contracts for the fiber paths are dedicated to Microsoft. Microsoft engages and contracts with providers to provide field service maintenance in the event of faults, defects, or failures. |
