6. ARCHITECTURE
6.1 The Product is cloud native, meaning it is designed and developed to run on and consume Microsoft Azure public cloud resources.
6.2 The SaaS solution is based on a single instance of the Product which is being used by multiple customers in the production environment and which are sharing public cloud resources (this is referred to as a multi- tenant model.) The product can alternatively be hosted singularly with a dedicated production instance. The product is also made available to all customers in a staging environment so that they can become familiar with Updates and Upgrades before they are moved into the production environment. Development and Test (staging) environment is based on a multi tenant architecture, where same instance is shared between all customers, maintaining data isolation.
6.3 The production environment is configured to the Customer’s needs and can be hosted by a dedicated instance (single tenant), based on agreement with the Customer.
6.4 The Product is hosted in the appropriate Azure region and zones based on the geographic location of the Customer and taking into account data privacy laws.
Azure Regions:
6.4.1 Australia East.
6.4.2 Brazil South.
