PAY.ON AG, a service provider for global payment processing switched all operations to a new central data center in London.

The company is using TelecityGroup facilities. The processing hotspot consists of two entirely physically separate 'Tier 3+'data centers, synchronized via permanent and continuously redundant active/active fibre channel connections, including automated real-time failover. The operation setup is hot/hot. As such, both units process in parallel, permitting active volume management and establishing completely failure- and maintenance-free operation.

A total of more than 16,000 internal and external monitoring processes safeguard the high availability of all system units. The previous data center in Germany serves as additional disaster recovery backup.

PAY.ON services are hosted in an own redundant, secured cloud via the new central data center.

The entire server architecture is completely virtualised. Storage, memory, and CPUare being triggered automatically when reaching 60 per cent capacity utilization. The system can also be duplicated for major clients for their own use upon request.

Security complies with all the requirements of PCI-DSS v2.
