Managed Enterprise Hosting Colocation Services

SiteSouth has developed an In-depth solution dedicated to the managed business and enterprise colocation hosting client. By using multiple protection hardware and software systems we can provide you with the most robust protection of your servers, email system and web content and data. Our comprehensive enterprise colocation hosting solution can save you $100,000s in equipment costs, operating capital, employee costs and IT resources while providing fully managed services with accurate full service reporting and management.

Providing a strong defense against intruders and attackers that attempt to cripple your business operations is imperative for today's IT organizations. Between the increasing scale of attacks and the rapid emergence of new vulnerabilities, today's security infrastructure is unable to maintain needed levels of protection while also allowing legitimate business operations to continue.

Many intrusions stealthily pass through the firewall, and traditional network Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are designed for detection and recording of attacks after the fact. Inline security devices cobbled on top of IDS is still reactive in nature, yet all it takes is a single packet to take down an infrastructure. As IT security becomes more challenging what is needed is a proactive approach to protection that can accurately block only malicious users and traffic before any damage occurs.

By deploying our integrated security platform throughout the network our clients benefit from a multi-layer, distributed platform that delivers network vulnerability management, intrusion prevention/detection, network-state monitoring, packet-flow monitoring, traffic shaping, stateful firewall, IPSEC VPN, anomaly detection and data correlation. The entire solution is built around SiteSouth's “Security through Change Management” model, which integrates over 10 foundational security functions around an intelligent, network-wide change-monitoring core and security-event correlation engine

CORPORATE and REGULATORY POLICY ENFORCEMENT

Organizations must make sure that intellectual property and other confidential information is protected. Heightened awareness surrounding government regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA and Gramm-Leach-Bliley, have increased the need for organizations to take a more proactive role in policing what information is disseminated through email and the internet. SiteSouths Enterprise Colocation service is designed to enforce such policies.

INTRUSION PREVENTION SYSTEM SOLUTION

All Private VLAN ACL have been designed by SiteSouth's security experts and outside consultants. We will work with your IT and Security staff to create a custom plan for your servers.

EMAIL SPAM and ANTI-VIRUS PROTECTION

Spam Costs... You pay when you download it, it delays receipt of real email, you spend time scanning & deleting it, and in extreme cases you may miss legitimate emails within a morass of unwanted advertising. As an employer, you could even be held liable if your employees are regularly subjected to material that they find distressing or objectionable.

For a small Business with 10 employees, on an average salary of $45,000, each spending ten minutes a day checking and deleting spam, the cost in lost productivity is over $10,000 per year.

Filtering takes place before a virus or spam message reaches your network or mail server. All incoming email for your domain(s) is routed through SiteSouth's high-availability network and scanned for undesirable content. Using patented pass-through technology (versus store-and-forward methods); email bound for a company's email server is processed in real-time through highly secure service architecture.

Within milliseconds, SiteSouth's email security solution separates spam and viruses from legitimate messages. Legitimate email is instantly passed on to the destination mail server. Suspicious email can either be quarantined in a web-based, password-protected message center for administrator or end-user review, or tagged and delivered. The entire process is fully automated - valid emails pass through and cannot be physically accessed by any persons other than the recipient.

SiteSouth's redundant data centers process millions email messages every week, so new spam attacks and methods are detected and handled long before traditional filtering solutions are updated. In addition, this is the only technology that can help prevent directory harvest attacks on your mail servers - a common brute force method used by spammers to detect your email addresses.

Our virus filtering software contains a regularly updated database of current and past viruses as well as a series of other criteria for examining email. Each email is automatically scanned for potentially damaging file attachments and scripts. If a virus is found, it is automatically stripped from the email, but the email itself is still forwarded to you with a special tag added to the subject line to alert you to the fact that a suspicious file was attached.

CONTENT and DATA SECURITY - DATA BACKUP and DISASTER RECOVERY

Protecting against disasters is critical for maintaining your business continuity. Reliable disaster recovery (data backup and restoration) is critical to all businesses. Hardware failure, theft, accidental deletions, virus damage and natural hazards such as fire and flood, make implementing a foolproof disaster recovery plan imperative for business security.

Your data is a vital asset and SiteSouth helps you keep it safe. SiteSouth automates and tracks the entire process of producing high speed secure storage for offsite vaulting.

You can design, schedule, and control all data backups from a simple graphical interface. SiteSouth's system utilizes patented performance algorithms, state-of-the-art parallel processing technology, dynamic optimization and architecture exploitation to minimize the elapsed time of applications and minimize the computer resources needed to run those applications. This allows you to leverage your existing hardware investment.

An effective backup and disaster recovery program must protect against physical and logical data disruption, and SiteSouth does both. SiteSouth is not a reseller and does not rely on a third-party to operate its vaults. Because we never relinquish control of your data to an outside vendor, there is no middleman limiting access, lessening security, and adding cost to the service we provide.

The SiteSouth data centers are located in multiple Tier-1 data facilities protected behind a physical firewall and guarded 24 hours a day, seven days a week with on-site personnel and video surveillance. Access is further restricted to only designated personnel and protected with an additional security layer. The facilities are equipped with redundant air conditioning and emergency power systems, , humidity and water detection, redundant power access, and monitored intrusion protection.

To protect data from physical disruptions such as hardware failure, SiteSouth uses established industry practices of layers of replicated servers and fail over technologies. Since the data is automatically transferred off site, the SiteSouth service protects against all physical disruptions caused by catastrophic events at the client site.

All data is stored in our primary data center. At the client's request, data may be maintained in both our primary data center and our secondary remote data center. The added safeguard of backing up to two separate facilities ensures the data is safe in the unlikely event that a backup facility is affected by an emergency. Our primary data center is a tier-1 World-Class data center located in Atlanta, GA. Our second tier-1 facility is located in Las Vegas, NV.

MULTIPLE TIER 1 DATA CENTERS

SiteSouth maintains two dedicated and colocation data centers in Atlanta, GA and Las Vegas, NV. By offering remotely located data centers SiteSouth’s enterprise clients may house their primary server array in one data center and maintain secure back up and emergency servers in the other. Each data center is a tier 1 facility including: unique network backbone connections, redundant Cisco routers, 24 hour access card key access, CCTV, battery backup, standby generators and multiple Liebert A/C units maintaining a climate of 70 degrees (+/- 5) and 30-60% humidity, N+1 redundancy and 24/7 network and support staff.
