Hosted Solution
A benefit of Jackrabbit Dojo is that we host both the
application and data for you. This means you don't need a
costly IT staff and services and you don't need to buy any
software. Just point your browser to Jackrabbit Dojo and go
– from anywhere. Because we can spread the cost of a highly
available infrastructure across many clients, you get the
savings and the security of knowing its always available
when you need it
Risk Free Uptime Guarantee
You rely on Jackrabbit Dojo every day so we guarantee
99.6% system uptime. Because system availability is
important. More importantly our actual uptime is much
higher. With redundancy, 24/7 monitoring, and fault tolerant
engineering, our network infrastructure is designed to
handle your mission-critical business application needs
every day of every year. Planned maintenance and upgrades
are undertaken on weekends and never during the high user
activity. And we always send out advanced notice of any
planned system downtime to your organization's primary
Jackrabbit Dojo administrator.
Safe Enough for Banks
Your data is your biggest asset and your business relies
on it every day. Whether picking a client/server or hosted
solution, you need to make sure the daily operations of the
system are sufficiently resourced and managed in a way that
secures your data and ensures it is always recoverable.
Because we can spread the cost of a highly secure
infrastructure across many clients, you can sleep easily at
night knowing your data is probably safer than if it was in
your own building. Our servers are in the same datacenter
where large banks keep their servers.
Highly Secure
The security of your data is of utmost importance to us.
Our hosting centers include fully redundant,
state-of-the-art denial-of-service firewalls and we run SSL
acceleration hardware to give the same performance whether
you connect under regular or SSL encryption mode. Jackrabbit
Dojo contains numerous system administrator controls to
restrict access to data and functionality. All access to the
Jackrabbit Dojo system requires user authentication, which
is done under 1024-bit encryption, and the data is fully
secured on protected servers.
Safe Backup
We have a strict backup regimen to make sure your data
is always protected. Even though our customers have never
needed them, multiple backups are run every day. This means
even in the unlikely event of a catastrophic failure,
there's no need to worry about your data.
Data Import / Export
Data import and export in Jackrabbit Dojo is a snap.
The Jackrabbit import feature allows you to import account
and contact data as needed, including lists you've just
purchased or files downloaded from other databases. You can
also use it for bulk import for the first time you migrate
data from another class management system. Exporting data is
also a breeze. You can save data from Jackrabbit right into
an Excel file. Of course you want to protect your data, so
administrators can set up policies for who can see and share
what data.
