Back to all questions

“What if the system goes down during school hours?”

Short answer: it doesn't. DRAIS is engineered with redundant infrastructure, offline failovers, and 24/7 monitoring so your school never misses a beat.

How DRAIS Stays Online

Our architecture is designed so that no single point of failure can bring the system down.

Reliability, Layer by Layer

Cloud-Hosted Infrastructure

DRAIS runs on enterprise-grade cloud servers with automatic scaling to handle peak attendance hours without slowdowns.

Offline-First Architecture

Biometric devices cache attendance locally. If connectivity drops, data is stored safely and synced the moment the network returns.

Automated Daily Backups

Every school's data is backed up automatically every 24 hours. Full disaster recovery takes less than 30 minutes.

Auto-Healing & Restart

Our monitoring layer detects downtime instantly and auto-restarts services. If manual intervention is needed, our team is alerted within seconds.

99.9 % Uptime SLA

Across all active deployments, DRAIS has maintained 99.9% uptime over the past 12 months — schools open, DRAIS is running.

Redundant Network Paths

Critical routes are duplicated so a single network failure never takes the system offline.

“Even during power fluctuations that are common here, DRAIS never lost a single attendance record. The offline caching is a game-changer for schools in our area.”
