How it Works
First, a private VPN tunnel is established between your business and ERTH’s Tier 3 data center. A Tier 3 data center guarantees 99.982 percent availability which means less than two hours of downtime per year. There is also redundant power, internet and some incredibly high-security protocols.
By combining a Tier 3 data center with ERTH’s high availability infrastructure, we ensure that your systems are always available to your customers and staff. In the event of catastrophic hardware or data failure, ERTH’s Disaster Recovery plan and facilities can be activated almost immediately with virtually no lost time or lost data. Whether it is one server, ten, or fifty, you can customize the configuration to meet your business requirements.
With ERTH, your systems are monitored 24/7 by automated systems that are overseen by our team of network and cyber security experts.
Delivering information security and operational cost savings
“Since 2003, Lakefront Utilities has been using ERTH’s private cloud solutions. We are able to leverage the expertise, skills and infrastructure at ERTH at a fraction of the costs of doing it ourselves. Simply put, as a smaller LDC we need to collaborate as much as possible so that we can take advantage of the automated tools that exist today. With limited resources in a regulated market I like knowing my core CIS solution is being run by some real pros. ERTH takes care of our CIS infrastructure so that me and my team can focus on our customers and keeping the lights on!”
