Plexus Online Data Center

Plexus Online has been designed and constructed from the ground up to be an on-demand solution. It utilizes advanced architecture to deliver a powerful combination of features, flexibility, accessibility and security.

Data Vault

All Plexus Online data is stored in a secure Data Vault with solid concrete and steel walls. The Data Vault protects your data from natural disasters, theft, and other threats.

Security

Plexus Online is protected by multiple layers of system and physical security, including highly-secure firewalls, detection and tracking systems, surveillance cameras, and biometric entrance control. Plexus maintains a professional security staff dedicated to protecting your data.

Servers

Plexus Online is hosted on over 50 highly-reliable, high-performance Hewlett Packard Servers. Each set of servers performs a specific function. Servers include mirrored hard drives, redundant processors, error-correcting RAM, redundant power supplies, automatic temperature and fault monitoring, and many other advanced capabilities.

Database

Plexus Online is based on a fully integrated relational database using Microsoft SQL Server running on Windows Advanced Server.

Data Storage

All data is stored on our advanced Storage Area Network (SAN), which includes RAID 5 and RAID 10 data protection, plus hot spare hard drives and full online redundancy of every component. Servers are attached to the SAN through our fiber optic mesh.

Connectivity

Users connect to Plexus through private T1 circuits or through one of our multiple Internet pipes: WorldCom (land), Sprint (land), Zing (Wireless), and SatCom Solutions (Satellite).

Communications

Plexus Online uses high-end Cisco routers and switches to handle its communications.

Data Backup

All data is backed up in multiple layers and also stored off site.

Backup Electrical Power

Plexus Online runs on specially-designed electrical infrastructure, including a Kohler backup generator and an online Uninterruptible Power Supply system.

Climate Control

Plexus Online runs in climate controlled rooms using the most sophisticated equipment available.

Backup Site

In addition to its primary Data Center, Plexus also maintains a Backup Site. This site will be used to run Plexus Online in the unlikely event of a catastrophic disaster at the primary site.

Vertical Integration

We do not host Plexus through a third party or subcontract any of the infrastructure. We handle everything, which gives you one company to deal with. Plexus Online provides a vertically-integrated solution, which provides the highest level of security control and cost-effectiveness. No middleman.
