OpenText takes pride in the reliability of its enterprise-grade cloud fax transmissions. OpenText possesses the industry’s most sophisticated, global cloud fax network - with multiple data centers featuring automated failover, as well as two Network Operation Centers (NOC) with failover capabilities.
OpenText data centers connect to more than one telephone carrier in case of failure at the original carrier; this capability is known as carrier diversity. The notion of carrier diversity is what makes the OpenText cloud network “carrier grade”. Carrier grade means that the OpenText cloud architecture is fully capable of supporting global, scalable, enterprise-class fax operations thanks to the following:
- Platform agnosticism; our services easily integrate with desktop applications and backend systems
- High availability due to 14 points of presence: 5 data centers and 9 co-locations
- Service uptime of no less than 99.5%
- 24 x 7 network operations center monitoring to ensure systems remain highly operational
- "Never-busy" fax network to ensure inbound deliverability
- Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that guarantee specific network performance requirements
OpenText understands that today’s global enterprise must be able to run around the clock. OpenText offers disaster recovery that ensures continuity of business-critical fax functions, particularly in the event of disasters or other "acts of nature". The OpenText cloud fax network utilizes the following to support Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR):
- Documented BCDR plans – 100% dedicated Disaster Recovery (DR) policies featuring the ability to immediately add capacity if disruptions in fax transmissions occur
- Proven BCDR scenarios – case studies showcasing a successful track record in handling various disaster recovery strategies and scenarios around prevention, response, and recovery
- On-going system monitoring – continuous analysis of systems to ensure peak network readiness, including regular system software and application upgrades
With service level uptimes at a minimum of 99.5%, the OpenText cloud fax network eliminates the cost and complexity of maintaining redundant systems for high availability and disaster recovery for fax transmissions.
OpenText is committed to protecting customers’ business-critical data, providing assurances through its Global Information Security organization. These assurances are designed to give customers the necessary security and compliance they need to address their respective industries’ most important regulatory requirements.
Secure Connectivity Protocols
Security protocols are vital in protecting customers’ fax data, particularly in transit. The OpenText cloud fax network is an environment made up of connectivity protocols that keep customers aligned with their most pertinent regulatory compliance mandates. There are two secure connectivity protocols that OpenText deems mission-critical for helping cloud fax customers meet best-in-class certifications:
- Secured web connections – OpenText supports a variety of protocols for the secure transmission of fax data such as SSL and HTTPS.
- Virtual private networks (VPN) – OpenText enables fax transmission across both shared and public networks, as if it were directly connected to a private network. All of this takes place as OpenText customers benefit from the functionality, security, and management policies of a virtual private network.
Security Policies and Procedures
Faxes typically contain highly sensitive information about business transactions and decisions. OpenText takes an active approach in promoting and executing activities for ongoing risk assessment. The idea is to make sure that all security standards, policies, and procedures assist in ongoing risk assessment. OpenText uses a comprehensive set of standards to protect its customers’ fax data in a fully secure computing environment that utilizes best-in-class security policies and procedures.
