These cmpnents include a mbile healthcare (mhealth) applicatin, an administrative/visitmanager prtal and built in back-ffice integratin with majr prviders and gvernments. CellTrak is a Sftware as a Service (SaaS) slutin that has been designed at the cre t be cmpletely redundant, secure, scalable and reliable in line with industry best practices. SaaS applicatins are built n an infrastructure that prvides the security, perfrmance, and reliability nrmally fund in nly the mst sphisticated IT departments. The SaaS mdel allws cmpanies f all shapes and sizes t leverage this infrastructure, which wuld therwise be ut f reach fr mst. The CellTrak infrastructure has been built arund the industry best practices fllwing ANSI standards. The cmpnents f the infrastructure redundancy include but are nt limited t the fllwing; Multiple Data Center lcatins acrss Nrth America Data Center Pwer and Data Availability Requirements CellTrak Envirnment Level Redundancy Pwer Redundancy Data Redundancy Netwrk Switch Redundancy Database Redundancy Intra-Server Hst Hardware Redundancy Virtualized Backup Slutins Multiple Data Center lcatins CellTrak wrks with tp-tiered hsting lcatins lcated in Nrth America and the UK. The hsting facilities fllw industry best practices and are SAS 70 Type II cmpliant. The hsting facilities fllw the lcal cuntry requirements fr ANSI/TIA 942 and fr CICA Additinal data centers / hsting lcatins are brught nline as additinal capacity requirements dictate.

6 Mbilizing Healthcare Staff Page 6 Data Center Pwer and Data Availability Requirements CellTrak cntracts with varius cmpanies fr data center services. Data center must maintain at least an N+1 architecture in pwer, cling, and netwrking. Datacenter must utilize physically diverse Internet cnnectins and netwrk entry pints int the building. DataCenter must prvide uninterruptable pwer supplies that are cnfigured as N+1 with autmatic bypass and with generatr backup. The generatr(s) must als supprt the Data Center's cling systems. The cmputer rm air cnditiners must be maintained with N+1 redundancy and maintain the rm at the temperatures and humidity required by the ANSI 942 standard. CellTrak Envirnment Redundancy Pwer Redundancy Data Center prvides tw pwer feeds t CellTrak equipment. All equipment (servers, switches, etc.) are pwered frm bth pwer surces. If ne pwer surce fails the secnd pwer surce remains available t equipment withut interruptin. Data Redundancy Data Center prvides tw cnnectins t Internet t CellTrak equipment. If a Data Center switch prt r data cable that prvides cnnectivity t CellTrak fails, the secnd cnnectin remains available t equipment withut interruptin. Netwrk Switch Redundancy The CellTrak netwrk is shared acrss separate physical switches that are cnfigured in failver cnfiguratin such that a single switch failure will nt interrupt netwrk cnnectivity. CellTrak maintains separatin f netwrks bth physical and virtual t separate prductin, Staging, QA and Develpment envirnments. Database Redundancy CellTrak's Prductin data bases systems are cmprised f pairs virtualized identical database servers. Data is hsted n SAN backend using clustered file systems. Shuld ne virtual server fail the secndary database server in the pair will assume the primary rll. Typical fail ver time is measured in secnds. CellTrak maintains replicatin slaves, SAN snapshts, and physical backups f all database files Web (Prtal) Servers The CellTrak Administrative Web Prtal and Interface Endpint Web Services are served by many servers that are members f high availability lad balanced clusters. These servers are virtualized, and can be mved, prvisined r fail withut impact r disruptin in service.
