Side-by-Side Comparison

Capability	NS8 X4	NS4 X4
Availability	99.99999% (3 sec/year downtime)	99.9999% (32 sec/year downtime)
Transaction Rate	50M+/min	25M+/min
Typical Users	Global banks, Tier-1 stock exchanges	Regional banks, Tier-2 telecoms
Disaster Recovery	4-site geo-redundancy	2-site redundancy
Maintenance	Zero-downtime upgrades	Near-zero-downtime upgrades

Why Choose One Over the Other?

• NS8 X4 → When billions depend on 24/7 operation (e.g., clearing $10T/day in payments)
• NS4 X4 → When regional compliance mandates five-nines (e.g., statewide hospital networks)
