Hosting you can rely on
Hosting
We offer two hosting options for the ASAPP OXP® & bank.io OXP solution: Common and Segregated Hosting. While both options deliver a safe, secure and reliable infrastructure choice, the Common Hosting Environment is included in the monthly software licensing fees at no additional cost. Whereas, the Segregated Hosting Environment delivers additional performance commitments for your financial institutions instance of our solution. With either option, you never have to worry about installing, updating or maintaining applications.

Common Hosting Environment Features
All ASAPP OXP web and database servers are hosted through Microsoft Canada’s Azure Cloud Services. Our primary data center is located in the Azure Canada Central region, ensuring all production data will remain resident in Canada.
You can rest assured your data is regularly backed up and tested so it can be recovered in case of emergency. Our disaster recovery services and backups are stored in the Azure Canada East region.
The following targets are maintained by ASAPP OXP with regards to disaster recovery procedures and testing: Recovery Time Objective (RTO): 4.00 hours. Recovery Point Objective (RPO): 0.25 hours.
ASAPP OXP maintains hosting in a SOC 2 compliant, SSAE-audited facility and provides a copy of the SOC 2 certification report annually and conducts, through an independent third-party, an annual IT security assessment of the hosting environment. The results of the third-party assessment are made available annually via ASAPP OXP’s Client-Partner Confluence Document Sharing Portal within 30 days of completion.
Through the ASAPP OXP hosting arrangement with Microsoft Canada (Azure), uptime accessibility equal to or in excess of 99.9% each month is targeted. While no SLA is provided for the Common Hosting Environment, on a best-efforts basis, ASAPP OXP aims to maintain an unplanned downtime level below 1% or less than 7.2 hours per month.
The Common Hosting Environment is included in your ASAPP OXP monthly licensing fees.
Segregated Hosting Environment Features - Includes Everything Above Plus
On a monthly basis, ASAPP OXP shall ensure that the uptime shall be equal to or in excess of 99.0% each month or ASAPP shall provide a 25% rebate on monthly hosting fees that have been invoiced and paid, plus applicable taxes.
