Redundancy, Availability, Recovery and Redundancy

Trans-Soft Inc., Scottsdale, Ariz., has unveiled a new data center for its hosted applications and services.

Trans-Soft provides transportation management solutions for logistics operations in the freight forwarding industry.
Redundant features in the new Trans-Soft data center include:
• Two power grids coming from separate power substations, which feed the uninterrupted power supply.
• Two separate exterior fiber optics plants, each connected to two separate central offices ensure survivability.
• Fully meshed routers ensure the facility has no single point of failure.
• Three separate fire and smoke detection systems provide regionalized waterless fire suppression.
In addition to built-in redundancy, Trans-Soft has employed new technologies that improve availability, disaster detection and recovery for users of the service.
“If one of our monitoring systems notifies us of a problem, an entire group of virtual servers can be moved across the network and brought up in minutes. In tandem with a highly scalable Citrix environment, it enables us to expand with our customers and maintain a dependable and highly available network to all vendors. The result is a highly dynamic and reliable data center that enables our customers to focus on their core businesses while we focus on their IT needs,” said Trans-Soft general manager Chad Bernick.
