24 x 7 Support/Monitoring
An effective monitoring system is extremely crucial
for ensuring maximum uptime. Our monitoring systems
and tools provide our system administrators with an
all-encompassing view into the health of our
distributed infrastructure. We monitor a large
number of parameters related to the health of our
servers and individual services that reside on them.
Services monitored include:
Network Connectivity
Server Disk Space Utilization
Server CPU Utilization
Server Memory Utilization
Web Services Availability - HTTP, HTTPS & FTP
Email Services Availability - SMTP, POP & IMAP
Database Services
DNS Services
Log Files
If any server or service fails, or any resource
utilization exceeds specified limits, then a
notification is received by our Infrastructure
Monitoring Staff. The notification system also
handles escalation of issues i.e. if the issue is
not resolved within 'x' minutes, SMS alerts are sent
out to higher-level system administrators, and
subsequently to Management.
All of this allows us to detect and resolve any
issue within minutes of it happening and ensures
maximum uptime for our end users.
Security
Security is an ongoing activity for the
administrators. Security covers
Privacy- Information within our
infrastructure and systems will only be accessible
by authorized users
Integrity - Data and information with our
infrastructure cannot be tampered with by any
unauthorized user
Data Protection - Data within the systems
cannot be harmed, deleted or destroyed. Strict
control on Entry/Exit of Media. Real Time Data
backup on LTO Media using Veritas.
Identification and Authentication - Ensures
that any user of the system is who he / she claims
to be and eliminates chances of impersonation
Firewalls – Artech India is having Watch
Guard Peak series hardware firewall for Intrusion
Detection and Prevention. Barracuda Spam and
Antivirus Firewall for E-Mail Server. |
