LMS Cloud for Law Firms
Law Firms like yours need stable
and efficient facilities to operate
their IT infrastructure at its best.
This is what Rippe & Kingston's
CBTS partner does best. Whether
driven by compliance regulations,
increased growth in data, additional
communications platforms, physical
and virtual security concerns, or
stable environmentals to operate
optimally….CBTS’ data center solutions
are flexible enough to meet our
requirements while providing cost-efficient
and effective options for our law
firm clients.
Our options include: Our partnership enables us to
deliver the perfect Cloud Data Center
Strategy for our Law Firm
Clients. 100% redundancy
capabilities throughout our power
delivery system. This means our
data centers have diverse power
grid feeds to separate power connections
into the cabinet. Power enters
the building from two separate power
grids provided by the public utility
company. Power inside the
facility is provided to each individual
cabinet supplied by separate power
feeds from disparate UPS systems.
If a power outage is sensed by our
detection systems, the battery portion
of the system kicks in immediately
and within one minute, the backup
generators come on line to provide
full backup power to the data center.
This process is transparent to all
law firm clients. The LMS Law Firm data centers
have N+1 redundancy capability for
all environmental controls. Temperature
and humidity are continuously monitored
and controlled via multiple sensors
to maintain air temperature between
70 – 74 degrees and relative humidity
between 40% – 60%. Each unit
has a data interface board that
reports the environmental status
and all alarms to the building’s
environmental management system,
which is monitored 24x7. The
LMS Law Firm Data Centers
also has a state-of-the-art fire
suppression system, The data centers employ a seven
(7) tier security approach to ensure
your data is safe. All our
data centers are well-secured environments,
including the 24x7 presence of guards,
closed-circuit TV monitoring, electronic
card-key access, and a host of access
procedures that ensures unauthorized
parties cannot access our client’s
IT equipment. Our data center facilities
are also structurally sound and
capable of protecting your IT infrastructure
in the event of a disaster. All centers are subject to an
annual SAS 70 Type II audit, and
this compliance verification report
is available in hardcopy as needed.
Every three calendar years, CBTS
has a "HIPAA Compliance" audit performed
during that year's SAS 70 audit.
