Data Center Firewall

Firewalls limit access between computer networks based on security policies to protect sensitive servers and systems. OTS provides firewalling services for CSN's systems from architecture and design to implementation, monitoring, and management.

Server Backup and Recovery

Servers are backed up to disk or tape. Tapes are stored securely both on and off-site. Data center operators provide 24x7x365 availability for backup and recovery service. 

Server Configuration Services

We provide needs assessment and requirements development for servers. We can specify server systems based on your needs and generate vendor quotes based on your requirements.

Assistance for Dell, Sun, and Apple servers is also provided. 

Server Hosting

The data center is designed to function on a 24 hour, 7 day a week, 365 days per year basis.

Physical Security

The data center, located on the Cheyenne campus, is physically isolated from everyone except technicians with approved access. Public access is forbidden. Entry is controlled by card key access. Servers are configured to fit in 19-inch cabinets. Cabinet space is assigned by the number of Rack Units (RU) required by each server. Cabinets can be sectioned off and secured in one-third, one-half and whole units.

Conditioned Power

Power systems in the data center are designed to run uninterrupted, even in the unlikely event of a total power outage. All servers are fed with conditioned Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) power that will provide a smooth transition to power provided by a generator. The generator is regularly tested to ensure that it will continue to function at the time of an emergency.

Server Monitoring in Data Center

Monitoring includes service to you for emergency situations that require additional assistance, such as servers, applications, back up, and disaster recovery.
