Schedule Your Free AssessmentFrequently Asked Questions
- What makes AOP's cloud different from AWS or Azure?
- AOP operates its own private cloud infrastructure across four Louisiana data centers. Unlike public cloud providers, you get dedicated resources with no shared tenancy, a local team for hands-on support, and data that never leaves the state. You also avoid the unpredictable billing that comes with hyperscaler usage-based pricing.
- Is AOP's cloud HIPAA-compliant?
- Yes. AOP's cloud infrastructure is built to meet HIPAA requirements for healthcare organizations. We provide encrypted storage, access controls, audit logging, and signed Business Associate Agreements (BAAs). Our platform supports healthcare practices, hospitals, and medical billing companies across the Gulf Coast.
- What are the RPO and RTO for AOP's backup and disaster recovery?
- Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) are customized to your business needs. Standard plans offer 1-hour RPO and 4-hour RTO, while premium plans can achieve near-zero RPO with sub-1-hour RTO through real-time replication across geographically separated data centers.
- Can I keep my existing hardware and colocate it at AOP?
- Absolutely. AOP's colocation services let you house your own servers and networking equipment in our climate-controlled, physically secured data centers. You maintain full control of your hardware while benefiting from our redundant power, cooling, connectivity, and 24/7 on-site monitoring.
- How does Hardware as a Service (HaaS) work?
- With HaaS, AOP provides the servers, storage, and networking equipment your business needs on a monthly subscription. We handle procurement, deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management. When hardware reaches end-of-life, we replace it at no additional cost. It turns a large capital expense into a predictable operating expense.
- What kind of uptime guarantee does AOP offer?
- AOP's cloud services come with a 99.99% uptime SLA, backed by redundant power systems, generator backup, N+1 cooling, and geographically distributed data centers. Our 24/7 Network Operations Center monitors all systems and responds to issues before they impact your business.
