Figure 1 provides a high level overview of the solution. CAPACITY, PERFORMANCE & CONNECTIVITY SERVER CAPACITY - Server capacity will be provided in each site to accommodate the full projected transaction volumes. Component redundancy within each site will also be maintained to ensure uninterrupted service. These improvements can be accomplished within the cost structure of the original proposal due to the reduction in scale of the staging environment. Assets originally dedicated to a "production-scale" staging environment will be used to provide the incremental capacity necessary to accommodate running two sites. SABRE CONNECTIVITY - The additional Sabre connectivity required in the event of a disaster will be provided via cost effective stand-by T1s. FRONT END TO BOOKING ENGINE CONNECTIVITY - There will be incremental costs associated with connecting the XX.xxx front end application data center to two booking engine sites. These costs are borne by AA and estimated to be 1.5 times the cost to connect to a single booking engine site. Although twice as many circuits will be required between the Exodus data centers, the Service Level traffic sent over any one circuit will be reduced to half the traffic for a single site scenario. OPERATIONS SITE OPERATIONS - The data centers will continue to be operated from a single location at the Orbitz Network Operations Center (NOC) in effect for such Critical Service Level and there was no recurrence Chicago. In the event of a Service Level Default during such rolling 12-Month Review Periodcatastrophic event at the NOC location, DIR the service can be monitored and operated from either of the data center locations.
