Server Mirroring

Replicate to Secure Underground Facility

Stronghold Data offers the ultimate in security. Your remote mirrored server is located in our facility 85 feet underground. The facility is carved out of solid rock and is climate controlled. All of the equipment is safe from natural disasters that might wipe out an above ground facility and put your equipment at risk. There is 24 hour security provided 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Overnight Replacement Server Availability
Stronghold Data’s Remote Mirrored Server gives you the added peace of mind of knowing that you have an exact duplicate of your onsite server in a safe place. In the event of a disaster where your onsite server was rendered useless and your internet connection is lost, Stronghold Data can ship your remote mirrored server to you overnight. Our service gets your data available in a minimal amount of time without having to try to
rebuild your on site server or restore your data from backup tapes.

Monitored Daily
Our facility is monitored by our staff of Certified Network Engineers on a daily basis to assure that your systems environment is properly maintained and at peak performance.

Continuous Byte-Level Replication
Your information is monitored by NSI’s Double-Take software for any changes to all selected files on your production server and then replicated at the byte-level to the secured remote server. Unlimited Distance Replication Stronghold Data can replicate your production server from any part of the world to a target server located in our underground facility. Partnered with Double-Take software, Stronghold Data utilizes standard IP networks for data replication. By having an off site secured mirrored server you have maximum protection against data loss from system failures or any other type of disaster. Registered Internet IP addresses are
available for configuring your own VPN directly to the target mirrored servers.

Hardware and Application Independent
Through advanced technology you are afforded the flexibility to choose the best of breed hardware and software for your growing business. With Double-Take’s patented STAR technology you get complete data replication integrity for virtually any application, and it is certified for all editions of Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000.

Bandwidth Control
You can put a cap on the amount of bandwidth that is utilized by the system to minimize or even eliminate the impact on application and network performance for your company.

Failover Capabilities
Simply set your production server to failover to your secured remote server in the event of any type of failure and you will be running again without any loss of time, money or data. You can also protect multiple servers to the same target server. Integrates with various backup solutions. Performs Queued Task Processing with the use of replicated data so you can perform remote backups and snapshots at any time without impacting your production server. You can also insert commands that will automatically trigger remote backups and snapshots, or any other task that requires a specific time or responds to specific application events.

Utilizes Standard Network Protocols
Any existing LAN, WAN, VPN, or NAT IP network can be used to replicate your data to your target server in our secure underground facility.

Unlimited Disk Queuing
By queuing replicated data to disk during particularly heavy network usage times you can later transmit that data to the target server when network usage allows.

Removes Stress
With your Remote Mirrored Server, data migrations, centralized backups, web balancing, and server consolidation operations are almost foolproof since there is an exact duplicate of the original server. When you would have been down during a migration to a new server you can continue to operate by utilizing the failover until the new server is ready to go saving both time and money.

Enhances SQL Server’s Data Protection
SQL offers its own copy utilities but they don’t replicate data changes in real-time, nor do they replicate non-data changes. With the use of Double-Take software Stronghold Data can make sure you are up to date with all data and non-data changes as they occur without being required to take your SQL server offline and with minimal performance impact.

Protects Exchange
With so many businesses depending on Microsoft Exchange they stand to lose productivity, revenues and goodwill if their Exchange infrastructure goes down. Stronghold Data can help to protect you from these losses. With Remote Server Mirroring your Exchange data will be available immediately reducing down time to just minutes.

 

Remote Data Backup

Stronghold Data maintains a 24/7 facility that consistently houses your backup data in the event of any type of failure at your business site, whether natural or unnatural.

We do this by installing a very small software program on your system which automatically sends data backups through a very secure and efficient process to our group of servers at scheduled intervals. Our system utilizes several key components to make this happen.

Your data is compressed with an incredibly strong compression tool that far surpasses the capabilities of standard data compressors.

A security method called 448-Bit Blowfish Encryption (highest level security available) is deployed to maintain protection levels desired by both HIPAA regulations and Financial Institution requirements.

The data is securely transmitted to our servers through either the Internet or a dial-up connection utilizing your secure username and password. Your information is only available to you. Not even our staff of engineers can access your data without you granting us this ability to assist you.

Once the data is on our servers, it is immediately available for recovery to your system at any time. And we keep a minimum of 30 days worth of history for you to access.

Anti-Spam and E-Mail Anti-Virus Solution

Stronghold Data provides a gated front door to shield and conceal your message infrastructure from all manner of attacks. When a messaging platform is visible to the Internet, it is open to a growing number of threats. Stronghold Data’s GateSentry™ provides protection from all forms of the following attack categories:

Dictionary attack

Hijackings

Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)

Directory Harvesting Attacks

Stronghold Data's GateSentry™ proactively identifies and blocks these threats before they can effect your operations.

Stronghold Data cleanses your inbound message stream of worms, viruses, and other protocol-based vulnerabilities using multiple anti-virus engines and proprietary Stronghold Data detection systems. All anti-virus signatures are updated in real-time without any administrative intervention required. Reports for individuals and the organization as a whole are always available through the Management Console.

Stronghold Data’s approach to spam identification is to use a blend of the best filtering techniques and apply them to every message. The test results are then integrated using a dynamic scoring engine, which provides a likelihood that the message is spam. This approach makes it easy to take action based on different classes of junk. For example, messages that have a high spam probability can be deleted, medium probability messages can be quarantined while low probability email can be tagged for client side filtering. New filtering components are added on a regular basis. Our current spam identification analytics can be summarized as follows:

Header Analysis

Subject Analysis

Anti-Spoofing

Signatures

Multi-hop Detections

URL Screening

Heuristics

Lexical Analysis

Image Decoding and Detection

HTML Tag Parsing

Campaign Tracking Analysis

Internal and External Block Lists

When used collectively these tests combine to provide consistent spam capture rates of over 97%. The filtering engine is highly configurable and under the administrator's control.

Stronghold Data’s Delivery Manager enhances the stability and reliability of existing email architecture. Delivery Manager components include:

Store and Forward Buffering

Load Balancing

Fail-over Support

SMTP Flow Management

Server Health Monitoring

Each element increases the resiliency and control of email architecture - one of the most visible and sensitive enterprise applications.
