Security
Security of data is taken very seriously. Our servers, running RedHat Linux, have the latest stable versions and security updates installed. We use IPTables firewall software on our servers to keep them locked down as much as possible. Behind the scenes, our servers are ONLY accessed securely via SSH and all FTP uploads/downloads of critical information are done via Secure FTP (SFTP). In addition, we use strong password and login schemes to prevent unauthorized login attempts.
On the user end, all church individual logins require at least one numeric and one alpha character in their password and must be at least 6 characters long to further insure security of the data. Also, after 5 unsuccessful attempts at login, the user's account is locked for a 60 minute period and an email is sent to CCB so the incident can be investigated. Appropriate measures can be taken if necessary.
The data center is protected with keycard access and 24/7 video surveillance of the entire facility. It is also protected by a separate dry pipe fire suppression system.
Data Backups
Backups of all data are done nightly and stored for 7 days on local network storage and then archived for a period of 2 weeks via tape backup. Offsite backups are done once a week to a secure location in the unlikely event that catastrophic events occur at our data center.
Power Backup Systems
A 60KW UPS and an 80KW natural gas powered generator provide continuous power to the servers and communications equipment. All of the facility equipment is operating while the UPS and generator are standing by. In case of a power emergency, the UPS takes over. The generator then starts up to provide uninterrupted power flow until the Utilities Company fixes the outage.
Network Features
Our data center is connected to the internet via redundant OC-12 fiber lines. We feature fully burstable 100MB access to the internet and to your location. Only Cisco equipment is used for networking to ensure the best quality and reliability in the industry. In the unlikely event of a router failure, an extra Cisco 3600 router is on hand for immediate roll-over. The entire N.O.C. also features all fiber and 100mbps Cat5 wiring and 100MB NIC cards for the fastest transfer rates. Actual uptime is 99.99%.
