The Extension Manager is built within Azure utilizing availability zones for disaster recovery purposes. Additionally, the Extension Manager is architected and engineered in Clustered nodes providing redundancy in processing, database, and services. The structure allows nodes to be "off-line" while associated nodes provided continued services.
The Extension Manager components/databases are backed-up in near RT with a retention period of 35 days allowing services recovery in event of failure. Back-ups are managed by the system and no user administration is necessary.
