Industry Best Practices and Certifications

iPlanner is strongly committed to industry best practices and achieving the highest standards for our own business and our customers’ IT processes. This commitment is exemplified by two rigorous certifications that iPlanner has achieved: SAS 70 Type II Audit and Microsoft Gold Certification. These certifications also play a key role in helping our customers achieve regulatory compliance, such as Sarbanes-Oxley.

Global Delivery Capability

iPlanner is a pioneer in effectively blending onshore and offshore teams, using our unique global delivery model, to deliver cost-effective, high-quality dedicated hosting and web hosting solutions. With this model, customers benefit from 24x7 ‘round-the-clock’ service across geographies, with an emphasis on localized client management and support.

Online Backup Services

iPlanner’s Online Backup Service supports our dedicated web hosting services with completely automated, disk-based backup and recovery, providing up-to-the-minute protection of your critical web hosting servers. Via a secure connection to your network, online backups are conducted automatically and without human intervention, safely transfering and storing data to a secure data vault within iPlanner’s data center. Before transfer, backup data is encrypted and remains so until it is restored to the client’s dedicated server. Customers can choose to keep backup data for either a 7-day or 30-day retention period, and alternate retention periods can be arranged.

Virtual Private Network Services

iPlanner provides site-to-site Virtual Private Network (VPN) Services for dedicated web hosting customers that require secure data transport between the customer premises and iPlanner data centers. The iPlanner VPN solutions use public communications networks, like the Internet, to provide remote offices or individual users with secure, cost-effective, network access to their organization's dedicated servers. All data traffic over the VPN is encrypted to provide protected system access and content uploads and downloads. These VPN solutions are an affordable and scalable alternative to private-line or leased-line services for achieving safe, remote access to managed hosting resources.

Managed Firewall

iPlanner offers Managed Firewall Services for managed web hosting customers that require a high degree of security protection and monitoring for their web sites. This solution includes installation and configuration, system and security monitoring, and the ongoing management of these devices. Specific components of the service include implementation of the firewall policy based upon the customer’s security requirements, all required hardware and software licenses, installation, configuration, and maintenance of the firewall hardware and software, and 24x7 platform monitoring and response by iPlanner.

DNS Management

iPlanner also offers Domain Name Space (DNS) Services for web hosting customers. With this service, iPlanner takes responsibility for transferring up to ten domain names per customer, assumes technical contact responsibility for our dedicated hosting customers’ DNS records and name resolution authority, and sets up customer domain zone files on iPlanner’s primary and secondary DNS dedicated servers. On an ongoing basis, iPlanner monitors and manages primary and secondary DNS servers to provide our managed hosting customers with a redundant DNS resolution.

Content Distribution Services

iPlanner offers a variety of Content Distribution (CDN) Services to address your specific performance requirements. All of our solutions leverage intelligence from the global network footprint to make smart decisions about the routes that data should travel to the end user. This means that content delivered from iPlanner dedicated servers or caching appliances takes the optimum path, reaching the end-user as fast as if it were cached at thousands of edge devices.
