What's the risk of bad weather, floods, blackouts, terror attacks, or outages, etc, in Zipier's service center countries? #
We operate our service centers in the Philippines.
Here's a brief risk analysis on possible interruptions to your Zipier Cloud Co-workers service:
The Philippines
- Bad weather. Risk = Low: The Philippines has an annual monsoon, but is well prepared as this is an expected yearly occurrence.
- Flood. Risk = Low: our service centers are in developed major city business parks that have good drainage.
- Electrical blackout. Risk = Low: We operate in buildings that have backup generators. Internet routers and infrastructure also have backup generators.
- Terror attack. Risk = Low: The Philippines has some anti-government groups, but they're a long way (1,500 KM or 2-3 days drive) from our service centers.
- Internet outage. Risk = Low: The Philippines has multiple high speed fiber optic submarine cables connecting it to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Guam.
- War. Risk = Low: The Philippines hasn't been involved in a war since World War II, and has military protection treaties with the U.S.
- Political unrest. Risk = Low: The Philippines is a peace-loving nation. Both the EDSA Revolution (30 yrs ago) and the Second EDSA Revolution (15 yrs ago) were "bloodless" non-violent protests that led to government reform.
