Network & Latency

Connectivity standards for real-time data synchronization and low-latency operations.

Bandwidth: 1 Gbps dedicated uplink minimum
Latency: <50ms to nearest Zenth edge node
Protocols: TLS 1.3 enforced, HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 required
Redundancy: Dual-homed ISP, BGP routing recommended

Uptime & SLA

Availability requirements aligned with Aevum Zenth's enterprise-grade standards.

Target Availability: 99.95% monthly uptime
MTTR: <4 hours for P1/P2 incidents
Backup: Daily snapshots, 30-day retention, geo-redundant
Monitoring: Prometheus/Grafana or equivalent integration

⟁ API & Data Integration

Authentication, rate limiting, and payload standards for all programmatic access.

                
                // Authorization Header Requirement
{"Authorization": "Bearer {ZENTH_API_TOKEN}",

 "X-Zenth-Division": "energy|tech|aerospace|healthcare",

 "X-Request-Id": "uuid-v4"

}

// Rate Limits & Versioning
