Our Technologies

Cerizmo runs on multicore, multiprocessor, RAM-rich Dell servers. We use all server-grade equipment, not commodity or desktop hardware.

We run a modern Linux distribution on all servers, which has been optimized for hosting our specific application, as well as locked down for best security. The operating system is updated and security patches are applied regularly.

All Cerizmo servers are hosted in a Tier 4 datacenter facility located in the well known INFOMART telecom hotel located near downtown Dallas, Texas. The data center provides the following:

• Multiple redundant internet backbones
• 6000 amps 480v Input Power
• 6 x 750Kva UPS Battery Backup Units
• 3 x 2000Kw Diesel Generator with Onsite Fuel Storage
• Redundant Liebert 30 Ton HVAC Units
• Pre-Action Dry Pipe Fire Suppression
• Proximity Security Badge Access
• Digital Security Video Surveillance

We take security very seriously, as we are dealing with your intellectual property. Our security policies and procedures focus on all three aspects of information security - confidentiality, availability, and integrity.

Our servers run on a modern Linux distribution that has been hardened and locked down for best security. We use Cisco ASA 100-Mbit hardware firewalls, and Tipping Point Intrusion Detection/Prevention systems to confirm and isolate any attacks.

Database and file backups are done hourly, to three separate locations:

1. A local system - for fastest restoration in case of file integrity issues.
2. A remote Storage Area Network - highly available, redundant storage for reliability and fast restoration.
3. An encrypted, Raid-6 remote file system located in Switzerland.
