Provider’s Service Network. Provider’s content delivery network and service level represents that: (i) it maintains full N+1 redundancy on all service critical- infrastructure in order to protect against outages. Multiple mirror facilities provide diverse geographic redundancy. Within each facility servers have multiple power supplies, network interfaces and RAID protected storage. Provider is connected to upstream bandwidth providers by multiple gigabit uplinks, transitioning to gigabit and ten-gigabit connections to multiple “tier 1” bandwidth providers, offering route diversity and redundancy. These bandwidth providers maintain 24/7 staffs familiar with mitigating Denial of Service attacks, should the need arise, which they have sufficient capacity to absorb-and-filter; (ii) Provider utilizes external, 3rd party monitoring services to track server availability metrics. This service tracks availability from approximately 30 international points which helps isolate regional networking issues, in addition to any centralized failures; (iii) Content is stored and viewable to the public on the Provider’s networks for a period of three years or as defined by the managed services agreement. All Content is stored and backed up offline indefinitely for the life of the Agreement. Content can also be stored locally on the County’s network for an indefinite period of time limited only by storage capacity, with the added benefit of cached delivery to local users. County is consulted before they exceed any storage horizon and may extend the window for additional years; (iv) Content is stored in widely accessible formats and is available for export at any time. Exported data will include multimedia content and associated documents in their native format as well as any structured metadata in XML format. Access to exported content can be via FTP but in such an event the County is encouraged to provide a portable hard drive to ease the transition of storage and bandwidth intensive content; and (v) the County may verify compliance with these policies at any time in consultation with Provider engineers and officers.
