For years, Axcient data centers have exceeded industry standards for security, integrity, resiliency, availability, and performance. Today, tens of thousands of companies around the world choose to host their data in Axcient data centers.
- Axcient co-locates with four data centers located in Atlanta, Georgia; Salt Lake City, Utah; Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada; and Amsterdam, Netherlands. Each data center is designed for ultimate resiliency and is strategically located in disaster-safe locations.
- Axcient data centers are SSAE 16 Type II Certified or SOC Certified and have 99.999% reliability, translating to less than 5 minutes average downtime per year. The company’s data centers have undergone strict audits to ensure compliancy with federal standards, including Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations.
Axcient engineers monitor and manage data center networks, servers, storage, services, and other infrastructure 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Axcient uses two separate external and internal automated monitoring systems, which utilize different technology to monitor the same systems. The Axcient engineering team has virtual control over every component in the data center from the moment it is physically installed.
From the outside-in, Axcient has established physical safeguards for business data. Multi-level security runs the gamut, including razor fences, armed patrols, video surveillance, and biometric scanning, among other protocols. In addition, all equipment entering the facility is checked, audited, and logged by data center security personnel.
Finally, Axcient ensures data integrity with Silent Data Corruption Protection, a proprietary technology that uses end-to-end checksums to “tag” data with strongly verifiable identifiers and create redundant copies. These tagged, signed, and encrypted copies, stored on physically separate devices, provide the highest degree of data integrity assurance.
