Apptix Online Backup Security
Location
Servers are located in remote EMC-managed, world-class data centers.
On site Monitoring & Security
All data centers are surrounded by a secure perimeter, and are staffed 24/7 with technology professionals who maintain the highest standards in data protection. Both card and biometric security authentication are required for entry, and all data centers are SAS70 Type I or Type II certified.
Fire Detection & Suppression System
EMC-managed data centers utilize a gas fire suppression system to extinguish fires in the event of an emergency, without jeopardizing server functionality. The waterless system releases a mixture of nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide to extinguish fires by reducing the available oxygen to less than 15%.Redundant Power & Networks
Power is conditioned and protected by redundant systems and guaranteed by generators supplied by diesel fuel storage. In addition, multiple network providers service each data center to ensure operation in the event a network carrier fails.
Temperature control
All sites have cooling mechanisms in place to ensure that servers are kept at optimal operating temperatures.
Each data center adheres to the highest standards of security for optimal data protection. The flagship Consonus data center, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, offers the following:
- SAS70 Type II certification
- Seismic safeguards, bracing, and slider bearings
- INERGEN® gas fire suppression system
- 14x redundant power distribution units
- 6x redundant 500 KVA Leibert uninterruptible power supplies
- 3x redundant 1750 KW diesel generators
- Consonus AllWaysOn™ bandwidth
