Security Readiness With Tier 4 Data Center
The
facility used by the house computer systems and its associated components, such
as the storage system or the telecommunication systems, is termed as the data center.
Usually a data center consists of backup or redundant power supplies, security
devices, unnecessary data communications connections and substances of
environmental controls such as fire suppression, air conditioning, etc. Generally
large industrial houses use a huge amount of electricity which can be compared
to the scale of electricity used in a small town and, sometimes, it turns out
to be a major source of complexities and pollution in the society in the form
of diesel exhaust.
A four tier system provides a simple and efficient
tool for the identification of different data
center site infrastructure with the design topologies. The Uptime
Institute's tier classification system is an industry standard approach which
explains the tier 4 data center as a composition
of multiple cooling distribution paths and active powers and unnecessary redundant
components. It is an efficient fault tolerant system that provides not less
than 99.995% of availability.
Tier 4 data center is
measured as the most powerful among all its parts and is less flat on
failures. Tier 4 is designed to swarm a charge of grave computer systems and
servers with completely superfluous subsystems like cooling, power, network
links, storage, etc. It has been designed with compartmentalized safekeeping
zones which are monitored by the method of biometric access control. Hence, it
can be said that the simplest of all the tiers is a Tier 1 data center whereas
tier 4 is a bit complex but includes all fully tolerant apparatus like storage,
uplinks, HVAC systems, chillers, servers, etc. Everything in it is
dual-powered. In tier 4, no utility power sources are mandatory, though they
are commonly used as a low-cost alternative to commercial power. Tier 1 is
basically preferred by small business enterprises whereas Tier 4 is used by
large companies that prefer utmost security.
Standards are set for data center
tiers so as to evaluate the reliability and quality of the web hosting capacity of
the data center’s server. Institutes usually use a ranking technique for the
four tier system, which they set as a bench mark for measuring the trustworthiness
of the data center. The scoring system starts with the tier 1 and gradually
heads towards the tier 4 systems. Tier 1 is generally seen to be warehoused
with powers and ends, whereas tier 4 offers a 2N outmoded power and cooling
with an additional guarantee of 99.99% uptime.
Tier 4 data center is a completely
fault-tolerant tool that promises to handle any accidental activity on any
occasion without hampering the flow of operations. Tier 4 facilities do not have
any scope for failure. The basic concept working behind the system is that a
Tier IV design requires double the intensity of the infrastructure present in
the Tier 3 design. However, the noteworthy thing is that specification of both,
the Tier 3 and Tier 4, data centers demand IT equipments so as to have a dual
power input. This would help them to allow the maintenance and security of the
power distribution apparatus between the IT equipment and the UPS.
Therefore, all
the large scale firms, that do not like to bargain with the security of its
data, prefer Tier 4 data center because of its appreciable superiority and
security over its minor members.

How CtrlS is Redefining Infrastructure As A Service (Iaas)
Sridhar Pinnapureddy, Founder and CEO, CTRLS highlights how CtrlS is redefining infrastructure as a
service (IaaS) and creating new rules in the outsourcing space.
CIO: Enterprises are beginning to turn source
agnostic, and reaching out to third party service providers for their
datacenter needs. What is driving this trend?
Sridhar Pinnapureddy: Facilities that can reliably
house the data and applications that businesses need are costly to build, and
the on-going capital expenditures of in-house facilities can limit growth, slow
time to market, and be a distraction from your core business. Since more and
more IT Dept are finding it tough to get their capex budgets sanctioned, we
have seen an increase in enterprises taking advantage of our services and enjoy
significant savings on total cost of ownership. Another important reason for
enterprises to look at outsourcing their data centres is security. CtrlS offers
a wide range of managed security services that help your organization to
prevent potential data compromises, network breaches and unauthorized system
access.
CIO: Can you tell us about CtrlS’ policy of total
ownership and how it helps CIOs?
SP: At CtrlS, we believe in meeting client
expectations and not just to follow a letter or contract. CtrlS’ commitment to
its customer is total ownership. When we started off, we realized that we could
only make a difference if we came up with a significantly improved and
differentiated offering. This resulted in building Asia’s largest Tier 4 datacenter. We have
developed the capabilities to provide a complete suite of offerings from
platform level services which include datacenter infrastructure, storage,
backup, hardware to OS layers, network and security layers. We are operational
in Hyderabad and Mumbai, and building another one in Delhi. Our datacenter in
Chennai will be operational this year, and the one in Bangalore, the next
financial year. This ensures that our geographical reach is substantial, to
meet our client’s expectations of having the datacenter closer to their area of
operation.
CIO: Running Tier 4 datacenters across several
locations can be really capex and skills intensive. How do you manage to get
the right funding and talent?
SP: Our data
centers at Hyderabad, Mumbai and Delhi are fully owned by the company, and CtrlS
is promoted by the 18 year old Pioneer Group, which has been building the
largest available infrastructure in the Datacenter space and we have had
several rounds of funding. Our datacenters are built to withstand earthquakes
and other natural disasters. We have kept our financials healthy, and our
repayment obligations have always been half of our cash flows. This is a
guiding principle that we will not grow beyond a 1:5:1 ratio between debt and
equity. Our growth rates are close to 100 per cent, making us a very financially
healthy company. Our attrition levels are extremely low, as we believe in
hiring fresh talent and grooming them. We have a training academy to that
effect. Also, once on board, we offer a clear career progression plan which
goes upto 16 levels, offering them many options in diverse roles. Our ‘Total
Ownership” policy makes our employees extremely proud of the work they do, and
they get to do whatever it takes, to make their customer happy, which keeps
them motivated.
CIO: How do you take your relationship with the
customer from transactional to transformational?
SP: Our ‘Total Ownership’ policy is definitely plays a
key role in helping us achieve this. We develop a joint roadmap, which we
commit to in being a completely transparent company, and want our customers to
look at us more as long term partners and less as vendors. We learn from our
customers too. Once the trust is established, we develop a joint roadmap, which
we then commit to our customers. We realize that our clients are varied, and we
want to give them the flexibility to customize. All of these make our
relationship with our customers more than just transactional.

Benefits of Managed VPS Hosting Services for Small Business
The last thing on which companies would like to spend money
is managing the website’s server. VPS stands for Virtual Private Server. It is
the type of web hosting service wherein a virtual machine is allotted to a
client but the hardware property such as hard drive, bandwidth and transfer
speed is shared among various clients. Two types of VPS hosting services are
offered to the clients i.e. managed hosting and independent hosting. Managed
hosting is the type of hosting service wherein all the server-related issues
are handled by the hosting service provider. On the other hand, independent
hosting is the service wherein full control lies in the hands of clients.
Small and medium scale companies don’t like to spend time
and money on management of the server. When a company opts for independent VPS
hosting, the demand for an IT professional arises issues related to the server
can only be handled properly by them. Managed VPS hosting removes this burden
because the service provider promises to manage the server. There are many
benefits that a company enjoys by selecting managed hosting service.
·
Server Security:
Every firm has worries related to the security of data on its website. As the
data can be hacked in a VPS, high risk is involved. Server security consists of
various factors such as Operating System, software firewall, virus prevention,
spam filtering and security audits. It is very difficult for a company to carry
out so many tasks at regular intervals to keep up with the security. Service
providers have a couple of professionals who are efficient at this job. They
update the OS, check software firewall, scan and remove virus, filter spam and,
hence, keep the security level of server high.
·
Monitoring:
Every company wants its website to be accessed by the web world throughout the
year. But, websites face some kind of problem such as server failure at some
point of time due to avoidance of monitoring. Therefore, server monitoring is
quite essential for every website. Monitoring works on the basis of the phrase
“Prevention is better than cure” because it prevents server failures. Hosting
service providers allot a professional for executing this job so that its
clients can enjoy appreciable up-time. But, this feature is absent in the independent
hosting service. Thus, companies can get their server monitored only by
choosing managed Hosting.
·
Backup:
Data loss, due to natural or man-made disasters, is quite terrible for a
company. Every firm seeks a source where the data on the website can be stored
safely. Service providers usually follow
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery service Plans so that the data on the
clients’ website can remain safe during any disaster.
·
Specialization
at Operating Cost: Companies hardly
have an efficient IT professional who agrees to look after the server and
website at low cost. Hosting providers appoint several IT experts who have the
ability to show specialization in server-related issues. Therefore, companies
that select hosting service get to avail quality service at low operating cost.
CtrlS Managed VPS services are preferred by thousands of companies, irrespective of its size and
nature. A genuine and reliable web hosting service provider guarantees appreciable service that fetches beneficial results for its
clients’ websites. Therefore, every firm that does not want to spend time and
money on the management of website’s server feel pleasure to select a managed
VPS for their business computing solutions.
