Ready for emergency
In digital publishing, many moving parts and components have to work together for a seamless output. In the event that one of these pieces fails to work, a fallback strategy provides flexibility and continued operations. For Amedia, their web outage strategy covered a number of scenarios. “Sometimes one piece of the infrastructure goes down while others are still functioning. We wanted to be able to temporarily replace the non-working parts with a working alternative while still using the functioning parts of our infrastructure. The flexibility and modularity of Live Center Parachute give us this freedom.”

Give content a safe landing
Deliver content without interruption
- Ensure uptime:
Serve and publish content even when something goes wrong with an independent, separate solution to eliminate downtime.
- Rely on a robust backup plan:
Keep a standalone fallback CMS (Parachute) that steps in and serves content when your CMS, servers, or other critical components fail.
- Make every second count:
Continue to post live updates during peaks, popular events and emergencies.
Stay up when things go south
- Minimize downtime
with a separate failsafe solution, e.g., services for different levels of failure, independent of your existing infrastructure.
- Put a plan in place
and decide, based on level of criticality, when to serve backed-up content and when to switch to Parachute entirely to keep the news flow going.
Backed up and ready to jump in
- Be ready for anything:
Continuously sync content from your primary CMS, so content is always ready to serve if your site goes down.
- Configure parachute:
Customize your fallback solution for your needs, from a single-page redirect to a complete safe-landing skydive into continuous content delivery.
- Retain audiences and revenue:
Prevent expensive downtime and keep readers/audiences focused on your site.
Just-in-case technology
Parachute doesn’t only back up feeds but also continuously fetches the introduction preview to each article published on the main page, while copying the 50 latest published articles for Amedia. “Each newspaper in the Amedia family has an individual fallback studio, which is continuously updated with a feed of their own latest articles.”- Bjørn Tore Øren, Senior Project Manager at Amedia
