Security
AccentIT’s approach to Internet security is to provide a multi-layer defence strategy to prevent illegal accessing of resources on the network. This consists of clustered Cisco routers running Firewall software and 56bit IPSec encryption as the primary physical interface to the Internet. Behind this, clustered 525 Cisco PIX firewalls protect all AccentIT and customer internal networks from both illegal access from the Internet and prevent different customers on internal networks from accessing each other. The firewall directs all Internet traffic to the high-end Layer3 switch that ensures the customers are directed to the appropriate VLAN and are unable to view or ping other services in the internal systems.

In addition to the front end, AccentIT has Cisco IDS located throughout the network to trap, capture source information and report on illegal network activity.

Reporting on the server performance
The AccentIT standard for network monitoring and reporting is the IPMonitor suite of products. Agents are installed on all servers and routers to allow AccentIT to manage each client’s network from a central console in the data centre. This is manned 24 x 7 hours by operations staff who can respond promptly to any alerts and if necessary escalate them to the appropriate technical resource.

IPMonitor provides a variety of agents for monitoring different operating systems, hardware and software products (including SQL server) and will be utilised to provide regular detailed reports on the performance of the network and its components as well as the day to day management functions.

On the Internet side, AccentIT will perform a wide range of functions including monitoring, reporting, bandwidth management and traffic prioritisation. This provides dedicated server customers with detailed information on the utilisation of their allocated bandwidth as well as historical trend analysis and capacity planning information to enable them to effectively predict future requirements.

These reporting requirements are fulfilled with the use of HP OpenView and Cisco PIX firewall analyser that will be configured to provide reporting based on the requirements of the customer. These can range from CPU utilisation to fan speeds, operating systems and end customer experience performance. Once configured these will be supplied with monthly report based invoicing.
