Business Continuity...
With data security in place, the focus turns to creating a transaction processing system that is always accessible. uCharge has encapsulated the network and processing systems of the company in the NAP (network access point) of the Americas located in Miami, FL. This facility houses data centers for some of the largest companies in the world. It is a TIA942 Tier IV class facility. It is the premier location in South Florida for housing a data center. The facility was the first purpose-built, carrier-neutral Network Access Point and is the only facility of its kind specifically designed to link Latin America with the rest of the world.
As a contingency plan, if something catastrophic were to happen to the NAP of the Americas, uCharge has negotiated a failover facility in the NAP of the Capital Region outside of Washington DC.
The physical security from intrusion and from the elements is combined with fully redundant power supplies and cooling systems. Network providers all route through the facility, providing simplified multipath routing through multiple telecommunication vendors.
