Is my data secure and safe?
Our technical team have spent four years researching, building and tweaking an optimum data centre configuration to ensure the highest level of availability, reliability and security.
Encryption
Before data leaves your computer(s) it is first compressed and encrypted. This means your data is protected in transit to our data centre. Our software bears the hallmark and is trusted by PriceWaterHouse Coopers. This software allows you to encrypt your data using 128 and 448 bits - which is at military standard and virtually impossible to crack.
Data centre configuration
Our data centres are equipped with state-of-the-art systems and servers including:-
24X7 system administration
All components are continuously monitored with alarms automatically flagging any issues for immediate attention.
Full systems redundancy
All backup server components are duplicated to guard against single points of failure and ensure maximum uptime.
Cypher locked doors
Physical security and access control is second to none. No unauthorised personnel are allowed to enter server locations at any time. Access can only be gained using magnetic card readers.
The data centre is impregnable, bomb proof and well shielded against fire and all natural elements. CCTV is in operation at all times.
Backup power system (UPS)
Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) ensure your backup and restore service is unaffected by power failure. Cut over time is instantaneous so power is continuously fed to critical server components.
Climate controlled environment
Component failure due to extreme temperature conditions is eliminated by use of a climate control system. Optimum operating temperatures are guaranteed at all times.
Data storage devices
We have invested in high end industry backup devices to help ensure client data can be recovered whenever required.
Key components are:-
RAID Redundant Arrays
Client data is stored on redundant disks to maximise recoverability of data. Furthermore all data is replicated to another RAID Redundant Array. This setup offers unparalleled availability far superior to any other alternative backup system.
Firewalls
Servers are vigorously protected by hardware firewalls and a data centre packet filter
