PENN has designed a technology infrastructure to scale and grow to meet its ongoing business needs. One key element of the Business Continuity Plan (the "Plan") is a focus on flexible architecture, which provides layers of fault tolerance coupled with near real-time data replication to PENN's business continuity and its disaster recovery site. The plan itself focuses on the continuity of investment business processes and the technologies which support them. Lastly, the plan works to validate the layers of processes and technology through routine testing performed throughout the course of each year.
