Data Security

When you decide to outsource your abstract management, you're putting your trust in your Application Service Provider.

Precis provides a secure, reliable and scalable foundation for your data. Our data center was specifically designed to provide state-of-the-art hosting for mission-critical enterprise applications, such as the Precis Abstract Management System.

Our data center is staffed 24/7 with highly trained technical engineers. In addition, our staff adheres to a strict escalation procedure to help ensure your application and data are available to you at all times. We not only plan and help you customize your implementation of Precis, we also stress test your application prior to Web deployment.

Security

• Temperature and humidity controlled environment
• Need+1 (N+1) design of cooling towers, water pumps and chillers
• Multiple air handling units providing another level of redundancy
• Cooling units maintain uniform 72° and 50 percent relative humidity levels
  
• 24/7 on-site security guard
• Indoor and outdoor security monitoring
• Badge/picture ID access screening
• Biometric access screening
• Dual door floor trap design for access to the raised floor area
• Escort requirements for access to raised floor areas
• Fire detection and suppression systems for 24/7 operations of your critical systems
• Dual fire detection (photoelectronic/ionization and sniffer) systems
• Central fire alarm system notification with a direct alarm to the local fire department
• Multi-zone pre-action dry pipe suppression system allowing suppression to be contained to the affected area and not disrupt conditions elsewhere

Connectivity

• Built-in redundancy through redundant router and switch configuration of the LAN design
• Dual ports available from unique switches
• Scalability through 10 to 1000 Mbps bandwidth ports

Power systems
Our systems must be always available, and the system availability is only as predictable as the availability of power to those systems. Our Data Center is designed for redundancy and high availability of power to your system.

• Dual power availability to each rack unit from independent power distribution units (PDUs), removing PDU loss as a single point of failure
• Redundant N+1 design of uninterruptable power supplies
• Redundant stand-by generator power supplies, in the event of a power failure from commercial power
  

System monitoring and management
Our Data Center is equipped with sophisticated equipment and technical talent to provide 24/7 system monitoring and management of your critical systems.

• Concord NetHealth (server health monitoring)
• Agilent FireHunter (throughput monitoring)
• Veritas Nerve Center (router and switch event correlation)
• HP Open View (base network monitoring)
• Remedy (problem tracking, trouble ticketing and resolution management)
