CORRECTIVE & PREVENTATIVE MEASURES The cause of the incident was most probably an “Act of God: event, so there is not much XSTRA can do to prevent the damage that occurred. Additional redundancy could be implemented however this would be costly and not within our business model. XSTRA uses the highest quality carrier grade equipment our our fantastic technical team are trained and experienced, meaning we have taken all reasonable steps to limit the impact of these types of events. XSTRA’s XNET uptime has been above 99.97% for the past few years which is a good result. A special thanks to our Manila team of technicians that worked tirelessly throughout the outage to rectify the faults they found.
