Use Case
Is Your RightFax Environment Built for the Uptime You Need?
Review the availability, failover, and recovery capabilities protecting your business-critical fax operations.
Backups Are Only One Part of Recovery
Backups protect data and configuration, but restoring service may still require manual work and extended downtime.
High availability uses redundant systems and failover capabilities to reduce service interruptions. Many organizations need both.
Questions to Ask
- How long can your organization operate without fax?
- What happens if the primary RightFax server becomes unavailable?
- Are the application, database, storage, and transmission layers protected?
- Is failover automatic or manual?
- Can service continue if an entire location is affected?
- How often is the recovery plan tested?
Common Availability Approaches
Backups and Documented Recovery
Supports restoration after an outage but may involve a longer recovery window.

Secondary or Disaster-Recovery Environment

Hosted RightFax

When to Review Your Architecture
An architecture review may be useful when your organization is:
- Increasing uptime or recovery requirements
- Updating business-continuity plans
- Refreshing servers, storage, databases, or telephony
- Consolidating data centers
- Reducing internal infrastructure
- Unsure whether its failover process has been fully tested
