To prepare for that growth, Blue Angel is nearing completion of a build out that will significantly expand its office space. The 1st phase of the construction resulted in additional infrastructure that enables Blue Angel to host customer applications. Some of the features of this additional infrastructure are: -- All mission critical systems are now attached to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and a backup generator. The generator is powered by a direct natural gas line to ensure that power is delivered to the systems regardless of the duration of a power outage. -- A redundant shadow T1 line has been added to protect Internet connectivity should there be a problem with the main T1 line. -- Network and hardware monitoring software is in place to constantly gauge the state of services, mission critical software, and hardware. Should a problem arise, the software alerts the appropriate technical personnel via email and pages to ensure 24x7x365 service. -- The corporate backup system's capabilities have been enhanced. An automated HP T8000 tape backup system providing 80 GB of compressed storage per tape was added. -- A hardware-based packet filtering firewall was added to protect against potential hacker attacks or other intrusions. -- And much, much more...
