Coordinating the use of data can make the difference between your company sinking and swimming. When disaster strikes and you need to recover data swiftly, colocation in advance is your best bet for staying in control of your endangered information. Safeguarding against disaster is one of the most important parts of data management, and the measure that will make your company a cut above the rest. Planning for the worst is not on everyone’s mind, but when the chips are down, you will need properly stored data to prevent efficiency loss. Use CMC to prepare for this!
We might not be a Department of Defense command and control center, but we’re the next best thing. Here’s a look at how we ensure the integrity of the IT infrastructure our clients depend on.
Performance
Situated on a major intersection of our nation’s hi-tech fiber-optic network, our data center gives clients access to unparalleled performance, including:
- A dense network of underground, fault-resistant fiber-optic lines with multiple points of connection to the wider Internet.
- IP4 and IP6 redundant networks with 10Gbps connectivity (That’s like transmitting an entire high definition movie every second).
- Accessibility to every Internet provider and telecommunications carrier in the Dallas area.
Security
Nothing is more important to us at our data center than the security and privacy of your data. Here’s what we do to keep it safe:
- Overlapping high definition video surveillance of the entire building interior and exterior with over 100 days’ worth of surveillance video storage.
- A security certification process that includes SSAE 16, SOC-1, SOX, HIPAA, and SOX compliance.
- Biometric fingerprint scanners for controlling facility access.
- Next generation firewalls and 256-bit data encryption on all of our servers.
Reliability
We take the possibility of power failures, network outages, and natural disasters seriously, so we’ve implemented a comprehensive business continuity plan for our data center:
- A generator-powered uninterrupted power supply (UPS) system for backup electricity in the event of a power outage (tested weekly).
- An automated climate control system with raised floors, isolated server cabinet and cage storage, and a state of the art circulation system to ensure optimum temperature and humidity levels.
- Proactive anti-fire protection for preventing potential problems before they arise
- A hardened, earthquake resistant facility in a certified flood free zone.
