|
For custom enterprise environments, you get to choose the security features that you want included. | |||
Performance & reliability | |
|
|
Shared secure-form processing uses our redundant, load-balanced array of SecureForm procssing servers; however,
your hosted databases and such are located on a shared server.
For dedicated servers, you get to size the server to match your performance requirements.
For custom enterprise environments, you get to choose the reliability features that you want included. | |||

Dedicated SecureFormTM Processing? |  |
|
|
Dedicated SecureForm Processing requires a dedicated server with Private Labeling.
When ordering shared SecureForm services, SecureForms are processed through a shared Enterprise Class cluster and your data is saved on a shared Business Class or Enterprise Class server. Dedicated solutions are ideal for isolating both your data and the processing of your data from everyone else. Dedicated SecureForm Processing servers require servers with a minimum of 2 CPU cores and 4 GB of memory. | |||
Custom backup/retention Schedules? | |
|
|
Dedicated server customers can choose custom backup frequencies and retention schedules; this
may come with an additional cost. Contact sales for more information. | |||
Account isolation: No other LuxSci customers have access to your server. No shared servers. | |
|
|
In a shared solution, many 100s or 1000s of separate customers share the same server. Security replies on logical
and software partitioning of access and resources. Shared solutions are inherently less secure, have
less consistent performance, but are less expensive. Dedicated servers are recommended for when security and
consistent performance are important. | |||
Server isolation: All servers running on the same hardware belong to LuxSci. No public cloud servers. | |
|
|
In the Business Class environment, your server is in a Public Cloud. This means that other servers running
on the same underlying hardware (hypervisor) may be owned by organizations unrelated to LuxSci. This provides
some security risk compared to use of LuxSci's Private Cloud Enterprise Class environment,
where LuxSci owns the underlying hardware and is in control of all servers running on it.
Additionally, the Business Class environment may have less consistent
performance due to the possibility of "noisy neighbor" servers outside of LuxSci's control. | |||
Ultra-reliable: proof against hardware failure | |
|
|
Enterprise Class servers are virtual machines that run on a redundant VMWare cluster. If one of the underlying
hypervisors should have a hardware issue, all servers running on it are immediately rebooted on
another hypervisor, limiting potential downtime to seconds.
Choose Enterprise Class when server uptime is a very high priority. | |||
Multiple servers/server clusters | |
|
|
Private Label Branding | available | |
