InfoSend Response — 12/29/2006 <br />8. Backup data is verified on a routine basis to ensure that it is useful should the <br />need to use it arise. <br />Backup /Restore Plan: <br />1. Three separate backup methods are in place to protect data and assure <br />systems can be restored fully after a disaster of any type: <br />i. All servers are duplicated at the Disaster Recovery Facility. Data is <br />automatically synched between the main facility and the Disaster <br />Recovery Facility over a secure VPN. <br />ii. Server data is backed up to tapes that are taken off -site daily. <br />iii. An image of every system's hard drive is written to a file server after the <br />system is setup and configured. This ensures that entire systems can be <br />quickly restored without having to first install and configure the operating <br />system. <br />2. The RAID system is used on all servers to ensure that data remains available <br />in the event of a hard disk failure. <br />3. InfoSend internally develops its programs and systems, so IT staff members <br />are always available to handle potential problems. <br />Hardware /Communications: <br />1. Client programs are run on industry- standard X86 based workstations, readily <br />available in the marketplace. Backup policies ensure that computer theft <br />could not cripple operations. <br />2. Enterprise class firewalls are used to safeguard data, using a combination of <br />the layer -3, layer -4, and layer -7 security technologies. <br />3. InfoSend's main facility uses two T1 broadband connections provided by <br />different ISP's to ensure that Internet communications are always available. <br />4. InfoSend employs the use of Load Balancing /High Availability equipment to <br />manage the traffic from its Internet providers. InfoSend can sustain the loss of <br />one broadband line without any impact to production. <br />5. Hardware firmware updates are tested and applied to harden systems. <br />Subscriptions to e-mail security bulletins inform IT staff of security holes in <br />hardware products as soon as this information becomes available. <br />6. InfoSend uses multiple printers and printer types to ensure that a printer <br />supply shortage or hardware issues do not delay production. <br />7. InfoSend's employs around the clock service contracts for production printers <br />and servers to ensure that hardware problems do not hamper production. <br />8. LAN servers and web servers are kept on separate networks to ensure that <br />there is no unauthorized data access via the net. Only authenticated users of <br />InfoSend's intranet can access the data. <br />Labor <br />InfoSend's employees are cross - trained and can manage tasks that span the <br />31 <br />
