Security & Availability with Escapia
Few things are more important than the security and 24 hour online availability of your business systems.
Escapia’s data center is shared by companies including TicketMaster, HomeDepot, and the NASDAQ stock exchange. It was built to withstand a magnitude 8.0 earthquake, and requires passing through seven levels of security – including armed guards and biometric scanners – to access your systems. You cannot even enter the parking garage without security clearance. Is this a level of security you could afford to provide by yourself? Probably not.
And then there's power security. Our data center is served by two power grids in the city of Seattle. In order for a power failure to occur, BOTH power grids have to be lost, which basically means the entirety of downtown Seattle has to be out of power. So let's say that happens... When power is disrupted, we have industrial redundant battery systems that kick in automatically. No disruption of power. If the batteries get used up, heavy generators kick in. No disruption of power. When the generator fuel reaches a certain point, the fuel trucks are called in to keep the generators working; and if the roads are closed and the fuel trucks can't get through, we have a helicopter landing pad with a fuel bladder specially designed to help keep our computer systems working.
Virtually everything in our data center is fully redundant, meaning that there is at least two of everything. We backup your data everyday and store your data offsite just in case of emergencies. Can you afford this level of online security and availability on your own? Probably not. Does anyone else offer this level of security and availability in the vacation rental industry? Probably not. Here's the irony: They should; we do.
With Escapia, you can have all of the benefits of 24 hour security and uninterrupted availability of your systems at a fraction of the cost of doing it yourself. And, of course, with Escapia, you can rest at ease with the peace of mind that your systems are being managed by highly capable IT professionals who manage this for a living. At Escapia, we keep your business open, secure, and available 24/7. You should expect nothing less.
