| − | Newton by Agency Systems can be installed on a [[Hardware Recommendations|peer-to-peer/server client local network environment]], or within a hosted Microsoft Remote Desktop environment. Access to ACP Technologies hosting is provided over the internet through Microsoft Remote Desktop.
| |
| | | | |

| − | ;Server Clustering & Failover
| + | [[File:Neptune9.jpg|link=https://agencysystems.com/support/resources/#neptune9]] |
| − | ACP deploys VMware technology to perform server clustering and redundant failover, resulting in the OS instance not being limited to a specific piece of hardware. ACP is designed with not just one redundant machine inside of itself, but multiple machines with the same capabilities. The result is scalable server platform customized to the agency's needs, performance monitoring, and around the clock access.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ;Backups
| |
| − | The entire server instance is backed up each night using a virtual server cloning software in-house.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ;Security
| |
| − | Primary Security is handled by CISCO ASA devices. Secondary software security is handled by N-Able Monitoring and Endpoint Security.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ;Microsoft Office
| |
| − | Microsoft Office applications can be deployed directly within ACP, depending on which applications the agency needs. Microsoft Office licensing can be bundled with the ACP server cost for an additional fee.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Server Adminisration ==
| |
| − | An ACP server has many similarities to a physical on-site server in your office. Your server is dedicated to your agency, granting your agency control over how it is configured, and which third-party programs are installed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ACP technologies provides the hardware and operating system for your agency's server. Any task commonly delegated to your IT professional for on-site servers should also be delegated to your IT professional if your office uses ACP.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Your IT professional is primarily responsible for your server's administration, including adding workstations and new users.
