ACT! Hosting ... Why Consider It?

Clients will consider hosting their ACT! databases with us for one of several reasons: ACT for Web Hosting

They don't have a static external IP address or a server capable of hosting their own ACT! for Web.
They don't have a static external IP address or a server that can handle only the synchronization for all remote sales reps (since e-mail synchronization is no longer an option).
They want to outsource this IT function because they don't want to bother with the expense of setting up and maintaining their own server for web or sync access.

It's like having an IT staff that is totally dedicated to making sure your ACT! for Web and/or your ACT! Sync Server is up and running. We can even arrange to have certain reports automatically e-mailed to you on a regular basis about user performance.

What You Can Expect

Your ACT! database online in 2 days or less
24 x 7 x 365 database access
State of the art equipment and speed
Regular maintenance and backups of your database
Easy access to some of the top ACT! consultants in the country to answer your questions or for training
No long term contracts

Our contracts are on a quarterly basis. Keep in mind that you own the database. If for any reason, you decide to move your ACT! database from our servers to your own corporate servers, we'll send you an ACT! backup file within two working days of your request to place all of your own ACT! data back on your own systems where you can pick up right where you left off.

We're not hosting your database in our garage

We take your data security seriously. All of our databases are on an SSL layer with 256-bit encryption. Our servers are located in a Tier-One, Class IV data center facility (the highest rating possible in the US), designed with state-of-the-art physical and network security protection, disaster-recovery options, and a wide-range of environmental controls including smoke detection and fire suppression systems (FM-200 based) as well as redundant cooling controls.

ACT Web Hosting Center

Keeping the power on is not a problem here:

Fully-redundant power circuits and UPS battery back-up to each rack
Three One-Megawatt dedicated diesel generators with over three days of onsite-fuel
Fuel contracts for longer-term outages

All power to the servers travels through this redundant battery backup system. While they can power the whole data center for several hours, the power generators will power on after 3 minutes of no power from the local electricity company.

All elements of the core network infrastructure are fully redundant
All Cisco-Powered Network
Network security and monitoring
Staffed Network Operations Center 24 x 7 x 365
Fully redundant enterprise-class firewall's
Real-time intrusion detection and notification
System monitoring and notification
Connections to multiple (4) Tier-1 Internet providers including DS-0, DS-1, DS-3 and OC-3.
Multiple, diverse fiber paths through several world-class providers

We use IBM servers for our database storage and Dell servers for our web and application servers. All servers...

are protected by a market proven hardware firewall solution.
are protected from viruses, trojans, spy ware and ad aware by the latest Norton Anti virus software.
have Raid Arrays to protect your data in the event of a hard drive failure.
have dual power supplies that run on separate power feeds from the data center.
have at least two network connections to the network. There is backup hardware on hand and ready, in the event of a hardware failure.

Security is Number One

Getting to the servers is impossible, well for anyone other than our technicians! To access the massive server room requires clearance by the security officer, then with proper ID and the correct biometric scan you can enter the mantrap, then access the server room.

On-site 24 X 7 x 365 monitoring
Video surveillance cameras throughout the facility (inside and outside)
On-site security guard on duty at all times
Biometric scanners and access card required for entry to all data center areas
Bullet-resistant walls and glass
Man-trap areas at all entrances to all data center areas
Floor space, rack space or caged space available as desired and/or required

Data integrity is too important to be left to people who have many other demands on their time. We have one focus, protecting your data and making it available to you.

You know you need to do this. Quite procrastinating and get this task off of your To-Do list. Call us now so we can discuss how you can protect your data and have it available to you 24/7 by this time next week.
