Data Center The e-IEP PRO software resides on our server(s) in the e-IEP PRO Data Center which is a state-of-the-art secure facility that houses the system's servers and related networking hardware. The information below provides detailed specifications regarding the configuration of the Data Center. Network Our Data Center's communication network is built on a redundant configuration of routers, switches and firewalls that connect the Data Center's server farm to the Internet through multiple high-speed DS3 circuits. Utilizing advanced routing technology, our Data Center's network traffic is optimized and balanced. Should a single DS3 fail, workload automatically shifts to available circuits. Likewise, if any hardware component fails, or requires maintenance, it's backup component automatically takes over. The our Data Center network was built to provide continuous availability of customer business data. Multiple Tier 1 Providers Our Data Center uses multiple Tier 1 Internet Providers to connect to the Internet. A Tier 1 provider is a major provider of Internet bandwidth. AT&T, Sprint, and XO Communications, for example, are all Tier 1 providers. Note that this is not the same as a "T1" connection. Tier 1 providers own the "big pipes" and have built and operate the main Internet "backbones". Using multiple Tier 1 providers means that, should something go wrong with one provider, we can effortlessly switch over to another, with no interruption in service. Secure Each Data Center server is well-protected, both physically and digitally. Security of the Data Center is maintained with all servers stored in a climate controlled, restricted access, locked facility. All Data Center servers/domains are available with Secure Certificates (128-bit SSL encryption capability) . Our advanced security measures help protect the web servers from unwanted disruptions and hacking. The Data Center switches are configured to prevent data snooping; and the Center has monitored site security 24 hours a day. All HIPAA and FERPA data security and privacy regulations are addressed within the center's security policies and procedures. Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS) Our UPS system has two main purposes. First, it "conditions" all of the power being fed to our computers, smoothing out spikes and voltage fluctuations and protecting against surges. Second, in the event of a source power failure, the batteries in the UPS kick in to run our systems while auxiliary diesel electrical generators cycle up to speed and automatically supply power during a main power outage. Dual-processor Pentium or Xeon Hosts A single processor is just not enough to run a Web, database, storage, or email serve, and, because the latest technologies we use are quite memory intensive, all of our servers are equipped with a minimum of 1 gigabytes of RAM to insure maximum performance. System and Data Backups We complete daily "differential backup" of every account. That means, we make a copy of any file that has changed or been created in the last 24 hours. Then, once a week, we do a full backup of every server. We keep four weeks' worth of those backups, two of them in an off-site, lock-and-key data vault. Additionally, for all data stored in the SQL 2005 database, the following data backups are completed: Monitoring We monitor our network, Web, database, and email servers at 1 minute intervals for a variety of conditions. We also monitor security, and data center conditions (temperature, humidity, motion). Additionally, we monitor power, UPS and generator systems, building motion and video systems. These systems and devices combine to detect and report real-time data center status to a variety of sources 24 hours a day. Additionally, all servers are configured with Virus scanning software, with the virus signature files being updated on an hourly basis. |
