The District maintains a centralized server center providing network connectivity, Internet services, file storage, telephone, video and data services. This server center is protected by Hunterdon Central's security staff, as well as monitored 24/7/365 by an outside alarm system. In addition, the server center has the following characteristics:

• Power: This server center is supported by an enterprise-class uninterruptible power supply which provides battery backup for momentary losses of power. A diesel generator is also in place in case of an extended power failure. The generator can provide power indefinitely.
  
  
• HVAC: The room is also kept at a constant temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit by dedicated rooftop air conditioning units. Backup units in a different section of the building can be re-routed in case of an emergency.
  
  
• Backup of data: All shared services data is stored on a Storage Array Network for maximum data protection and security. Nightly backups of all server information are made both locally to a tape library system, as well as remotely to an off-campus facility in Pennsylvania via dedicated fiber. A disaster recovery plan is in place for quick and efficient recovery.
  
  
• Internet Access: A 100 MB Internet connection provides robust Internet access for all shared services customers, and two T-1 lines are maintained through a separate Internet service provider for backup Internet in the case of an outage. Hunterdon Central's Internet uptime exceeds 99.9%.
  
  
• Security: Student Information System services utilize Citrix's XenApp software to deliver remote 128-bit encrypted access to locally stored and secured databases. Our Learning Management Services utilize the same 128-bit encryption used by credit card companies, banks, and other institutions. In addition to our LMS services, all other web-only services, such as Electronic Gradebooks, and Student Attendance, share the same 128-bit, https encryption.
