So how can we offer this kind of reliability? The answer lies in something that engineers call "failover". There is no single point of failure in the TrustCommerce system; our processors are geographically distributed throughout the US, and our client software automatically "fails over" between these processing nodes. Failover happens automatically, transparently, and instantly. Although our individual nodes rarely go down (largely thanks to the incredible stability of open source software), the Internet itself is prone to instabilities and outages. But you'll never notice; with TrustCommerce, you'll never be unable to run transactions. Other systems may advertise 98.9% uptime, but remember - that comes out to more than 3 days downtime a year! For a high volume site, that's a lot of lost revenue, especially if it comes during a critical time - such as the holiday season. This can be confirmed by the number merchants that have migrated from other systems, to TrustCommerce. Please ask your consultant for actual clients, we have plenty of client advocates willing to share their experience.

Technology may be an unstable beast, but our engineers have ensured that it doesn't have to seem that way when it comes to e-commerce.
