We have invested heavily in our computerized process and systems; not only in terms of hard dollars but also in research, development, and hardware and software customization. Every step has been a step forward towards achieving the "perfect" system.
We've installed the best hardware available, insisted upon extremely reliable back-up and security systems and we've incorporated an amazing amount of flexibility to allow us to respond to changes in our business.
Our database software, Oracle 9i, is the same used by international giants such as Amazon, Yahoo, AT&T and GM to name a few. Our computerization is the lifeblood of our business and it must be as stable and reliable as is possible.
We've gone way beyond meeting our current and projected computer requirements by configuring our system to accommodate 250 station connections, 107,000 transactions per minute with current storage capacity of 1 Terabyte (with unlimited expansion) and 36 Gigabytes of RAM. Our mainframe computer, a Compaq Quad Server with 4 Xeon processors, is fully scalable to accommodate more growth than we can imagine.
Our servers all have an uninterruptible power supply with an automated generator-driven power backup system in our building with a 15 second response time. Fault tolerance on all servers ensures 24/7 uptime. Our Data-servers have RAID 5 with hot swap drives (no down time to replace hard drives) and our Application / Network servers have RAID 1 (disk mirroring).
We employ live, real-time back-ups to ensure system integrity and store back files off-site for additional data integrity.
For those of you who don't want to be bothered with all the details, the point is, at Vimich, we pay very close attention to the speed, reliability, capacity and security of our critical information services.
For those of you who enjoy the details, here they are.
