At first glance having your business
applications off-site may seem weak from the security standpoint.
But in fact, Herbst Application Hosting sets a higher level
of security than you can normally achieve on your own.
Data-centre Security
With Herbst Application Hosting your programmes, such as Herbst
Insight or Herbst HRM, and respective databases are physically
located on a remote server in a first-class
data-centre. Data-centres boast unmatched security because
security is their primary responsibility.
For instance, data centres have policies on restricting access
to the premises. They have their own power generators in case of a
power failure. There're actually so-called multiple levels of
redundancy that help keep the servers online in
the event of a disaster. Above all, data centres regularly undergo
stringent security assessments.
A simple analogy here: people use banks to
store large sums of money. You know that banks are guarded well and
offer protection against all sorts of risks. Resorting to banks is
far more secure than keeping money in cash in your apartment.
Same goes for Herbst Application Hosting - your business
applications and databases are safe in the hands of
professionals.
Regular backups
Part of Herbst Application Hosting is daily backup and
database validation done by our specialists. Every backup
file is kept for 30 days.
Secure connection
Technically speaking, connection to a remotely-hosted
application is established using a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)
over a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN). Our
servers run under Windows 2003 Server operating system, which is
winning high praise for its top-notch security facilities.
