RFP Help Needed

asked on May 10, 2013 • Show version history

I need help with a couple of questions I found in an RFP due Tuesday. Here are the questions, I’d love some good “spin”.

1. Storage architecture must allow for documents and images to be stored at one to many different physical locations for the purpose of redundancy. This ensures that if one of the locations were to have a failure there will be no interruption of access to the documents. Describe in vendor proposal.

2. Solution can limit access to the storage locations based on service accounts. Describe in vendor proposal.

3. Solution must encrypt data at the database level, the file storage level, and content that has been backed up/at rest. Describe in vendor proposal.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Laserfiche uses a fileserver to efficiently store all of the documents. An administrator can choose a single location or multiple locations to store the data within the same repository. In addition, the Laserfiche Server and the core data components (database and volumes) all support being placed into a failover cluster system. In the event of an emergency that causes the primary server to shut down, a secondary server can automatically come online, ensuring uninterrupted access to documents and images.
Yes, the Laserfiche server requires a service account to access the fileserver and database. General users do not need any access to the backend applications so access can be restricted as necessary.
Laserfiche volumes (images and documents) can be encrypted both by Laserfiche (AES 128-bit encryption) and by methods such as EFS (Encrypting File System). Database security can be achieved using technologies provided by Microsoft SQL and Oracle, such as Transparent Data Security, which Laserfiche fully supports. Backed up data can be encrypted in a similar manner.
