How reliable is Smart Answer? We have designed and built a very robust system utilizing two node failover cluster. One server is located in Boston, MA in famous Markley Group data center, and the other one is in Seattle, WA, deployed in Wowrack colocation center. At the time of writing, the server in Seattle runs in master mode and handles all customer requests. The box in Boston datacenter runs in hot backup mode. The backup runs in real time and under normal conditions customer databases are 5-15 seconds behind the master. The system is being monitored by 4 watchdog servers located in What languages are supported? English, French, Spanish, Russian. Some of the languages may be only partially supported (customer side interface only). For further info please refer to this page. How does Smart Answer protect from spam?
