The MedTek servers
are located in an advanced data center providing the
highest available level of reliability, speed and security.
The MedTek system has been designed from the ground
up with security, confidentiality and reliability in
mind.
Security
•
Physical Security:
Security guards are on site 24x7x365. Security cameras,
biometric hand scanners; man-traps and electronic keycards
are employed as well.
•
Managed network security,
based on Cisco PIX firewall technology, protects against
network hacking and denial of service attacks. 24 hour
monitoring of firewall alarms allows quick response
to threats.
•
MedTek's website
uses industry standard 128 bit SSL encryption to ensure
that data such as dictations and transcriptions remain
confidential and secure. All accounts are protected
by username and password as well.
•
Managed server security
ensures that all latest software patches and upgrades
are tested and applied as required.
Reliability
•
Servers are maintained on a 24/7/365
basis.
•
"Triple Data
Backup" (RAID, on-site tape, off-site tape) ensures
that critical medical information is kept safe and secure.
•
UPS with diesel generator
fail-over ensures that servers stay up in case of power
failure or disaster.
•
The latest technologies
in fire protection including VESDA early smoke detection
system, FM-200 gas-based fire suppression system, and
double pre-action dry pipe fire suppression system.
•
Data Center conforms
to Zone-4 earthquake standards and is built to sustain
up to a 7.5 magnitude earthquake.
Network Access
•
Servers are connected
to a global Tier-1 network, with a high capacity backbone
(OC3, OC12, and OC48).
•
Multiple redundancies
and peering ensure reliable and speedy data delivery,
even if portions of network fail or are at capacity.
