DoIT is responsible for providing a tuned and secure database environment as well as conducting all system upgrades and security patches to the operating system and the software. DoIT will provide support and assistance for activities requiring advanced capabilities such as root or system privileges, assist service consumers with the initial creation of and modification of user accounts, allocation of database disk space quota, and other tasks that can only be accomplished by the server or database administrators.
Consumers of this service must have external support for any application-related questions or will need to engage DoIT consulting services if application development support is required.
Backup and recovery are offered as a part of this service. Backups allow for recovery of files and data for up to thirty days. In addition, DoIT will maintain server availability in accordance with the standard windows for scheduled maintenance and upgrade activities.
As part of the hosting environment, DoIT also provides a dedicated development and test system. This system is maintained at the same operating system and database release levels as the production server, and has the same backup/recovery, maintenance and upgrade outage schedules as the production system.
Client and application connections to both the development and production services may take advantage of SSL encryption if the customer desires.
