What kind of bandwidth will be coming in?
Our server facility offers Top level Connections through Qwest, Sprint, 360 Networks in addition to two regional Fiber rings.
What are you using for securing and backing up data?
We use an SSL-VPN appliance for encrypted connectivity. Each client has a unique User ID and Password. Users have access only to their database.
Our servers are in a Fail-Over Cluster with an 8G FC SAN configuration utilizing, Raid 1(mirror) for the Operating System and Raid 10(Mirrored Striped disks pairs) for SQL Data and Logs files. We will utilize backup to disc technology for daily backups.
What is the recommended bandwidth from our location?
Minimum
available bandwidth for hosted data: 1.5 mbs/1,500 kbps (download) and 512 kbps (upload). Wireless AirCards® (3G, 4G, etc.) are NOT supported.
Important! If classroom cameras or other devices/programs share your bandwidth you may not have enough "available" bandwidth for Procare to run effectively. Make sure you have enough total bandwidth to accommodate all your needs.
