Ensuring Availability

asprecise's supporting infrastructure is based on high availability and scalability. The systems are designed to be available 24x7hrs without any single point of failure. The servers are layered and are clustered and all traffic is filtered through a firewall and load balanced before reaching the web application server and Web server.

asprecise uses the extremely stable IBM's RS/6000 H80 server as our platform of choice to build our near continuous-availability server systems. The RS/6000 has hot-plug-able redundant cooling fans, redundant power supplies, PCI slots and Dynamic CPU De-allocation technology, all of which provides excellent system availability. Our RS/6000 servers are also individually clustered using IBM's industry standard High Availability Cluster Multiprocessing (HACMP) software to provide fail-over and fail-back capabilities. HACMP also automatically moves services from a failing node to other clustered nodes. When combined with IBM's ClusterProven™ applications, downtime is minimized significantly as all hardware, software and other maintenance activities continue concurrently while applications run uninterrupted. All hard disks are mirrored to ensure that individual disk failures do not impact the operations.

AIX, the operating system for the RS/6000 is widely recognized as state-of-the-art in systems and network management. It delivers Java™ technology and Web performance with extremely high levels of stability. It also offers web-based remote management tools to control and monitor key system resources

Physical Infrastructure

asprecise owns and manages our own tier-1 level data center that provides an optimum operating environment for our servers. It is equipped with FM-200 fire suppression systems, redundant precision air conditioning and backup power supply from both UPS and dedicated power generators. The data center is also monitored 24x7 by professional building management services with a pool of AIX certified engineers on stand-by to ensure uptime.

Security

Entry into asprecise's data center is controlled by key card access and monitored by video cameras throughout the data center. Our network and server systems are protected by a multi-layered security protocol consisting of fully redundant Internet connections, state-of-the-art firewalls and intrusion detection systems. Individual customer's data are stored on separate partitions and guarded by multi-layered password controls.
