Maximum Uptime and Data Availability
ASC utilizes a state-of-the-art third-party data center to host HPL. To ensure maximum uptime, HPL provides a variety of back-up capabilities and other redundancies.
First, each lender’s virtual machine operates within a dual processor, quad core Production Server. Each production server provides a RAID 10 Disk Array. This is a data storage technology that permits high levels of storage reliability from standard disk-drive components by arranging the devices into arrays for redundancy. Each array provides two disk drives for production data, and two additional drives that mirror the production drives for redundancy. If a production drive fails, the mirror drives are automatically engaged with no downtime.
Second, the Network Attached Storage (NAS) is a backup capability that stores a complete copy of each lender’s virtual machine including the operating environment and software programs. ‘Volatile’ data (borrower data, custom set-up, etc.) backups are performed nightly and can be used to expedite the restoration of a lender’s virtual machine, if necessary.
Also, ASC provides a Standby Server. The Standby Server is a complete, “move-in-ready” server that can be used in the unlikely event of a failure of a production server that cannot be quickly rectified by data center technicians. The Standby Server is preconfigured by ASC with all the software necessary to replace a failed production server including operating system, database, AVS, etc. If a production server fails, the virtual machines for each PowerLender client on the failed server can be quickly moved here from the NAS and operation can resume. Optionally, ASC can provide a dedicated “hot” standby server at an additional cost.
Finally, ASC provides and administers a Backup Server housed in a separate data center located off-site from the production servers. Once each week, all ‘volatile’ data (borrower data, custom set-up, etc.) for each hosted system is sent to the backup server. In the unlikely event of a catastrophic failure of the production data center, the data contained on the Backup Server is used to help restore the production servers.
As you can see, HPL is flexible, powerful, inexpensive and secure. No other LOS is like it. For more information please contact 800-628-4687.
