Experience Secure Hosting with HRCentral.net

HRCentral has chosen SunGard Availability Services as its hosting partner for the express purpose of providing the highest quality hosting service.

SunGard is an international hosting company with sites across the United States and all over the globe..  The two features that greatly attracted us to them are their financial stability and their "zero-downtime" policy.  Our local SunGard site is located in Portland Oregon, less than an hour drive away.  This makes it possible to go on site and directly access the servers in case there is some issue that cannot be dealt with remotely.

SunGard provides incredible redundancy and stability.  Their internal network is completely redundant all the way down to our physical servers.  In addition, they have redundant connectivity to three different backbone providers (for a total of 6 unique connections to the Internet backbone).  In the event of a power failure, the entire location would be powered by diesel engine generator that when it was installed was the largest indoor generator west of the Mississippi.

We perform off-site data tape backups nightly.  (All our servers are running RAID 5 disk arrays and have a functioning hot-spare in the RAID cage.)  All sites that we host are stored in separate subdirectories, and each site has its own independent database, so data is logically broken down by site.

Some of the services SunGard provides include...

• Redundant Internet Connectivity:  SunGard provides duel connectivity to each of three different backbone service providers. If any provider goes down for any reason, two back-up connections exist to provide 100% uptime.
• Daily Backup:  Data is backed up on a daily basis to provide the most recent recovery options in the event of a catastrophic data loss (e.g.  server failure).
• 24x7 on-site Network Operation Center (NOC).
• Security against both physical and network intrusion.
• Documented and fully operational emergency response procedures.
