Redmine hosting: Secure, fast & ready to scale

It is understandable that clients require multiple certifications as a proof of the data center’s capability of keeping their data safe. Here is a list of certifications that our data centers hold:

• PCI DSS Level 1
• ISO/IEC 27001:2013
• SOC 1 Type II and SOC 2 Type II
• Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) STAR self-assessment

Data centers in our network are built to meet the highest standards of security, reliability, and disaster resilience:

1. Multiple high-end data centers, all fulfilling parameters in the following description
2. Every data center holds appropriate certifications
3. Geographically distant data centers to prevent permanent damage from natural disasters
4. Barbed wires, surveillance & security systems in place
5. Restricted access, thorough verification system & 24/7 human presence on site
6. Two separate electrical power supplies, two network connections & network rooms

Heat and fire have always been an enemy of high-performing technologies. It is very important to stay out of trouble by having every room fitted with a system that detects and extinguishes fire immediately. All data centers comply with APSAD R4 rule and N4 conformity certification.

Majority of hosting rooms are also free from air conditioning and have water cooling installed instead. This system disperses 70% of the emitted heat, while the air cooling takes care of the rest. This led to energy costs being halved, making for a more ecological way of work.

Two separate electrical power supplies power data centers, equipped with UPS devices (250 kVA per device) and backed-up by generators with an initial autonomy of 48 hours to make sure servers are always accessible. Some of the server ranges are also equipped with double power supplies and double network cards, making sure the infrastructure is redundant from end to end.

Fibre optic network is deployed across the globe with cutting-edge technology that is installed and maintained by in-house teams of engineers. It was also chosen to build the network in a totally redundant manner where multiple security measures have been put in place, in order to eliminate any risk of failure or serious issues. Such redundancy allows clients‘ data to take the shortest path and noticeably lower the overall response time.

At least 2 separate network connections are maintained within each data center to prevent any issues resulting from the providers‘ outage. There are also 2 network rooms capable of taking over one another to serve the same purpose.

Even though it is highly unexpected there would be any attempt to breach these facilities, we see it as our duty to make sure clients‘ data are always secure. All access points to data centers are strictly monitored and every boundary of the property is secured using barbed-wire fencing. This, together with a video surveillance and movement detection systems, are designed to prevent any intrusions. The security team is on site 24/7 to support the technology set up to guarantee proper safety.

Staff members have to follow strict security procedures. Every employee receives a RFID name badge that restricts their access and permissions and is required before passing through security doors. Access rights are reassessed on regular basis.

Redmine remains a relevant project management solution, especially for teams with technical skills who value flexibility and cost efficiency. It offers key benefits such as being open source, highly customisable, and scalable for various industries, from software development to manufacturing.

Additionally, its rich plugin ecosystem and consistent updates since 2006 make it a reliable choice for organisations managing complex projects.

The term “Redmine server” refers to the environment where the Redmine application is hosted, either on your own infrastructure (on-premises) or in the cloud. 

A self-hosted Redmine server gives organisations full control over customisation and data security, but requires internal resources for maintenance. 

Alternatively, cloud hosting offers a managed environment with automatic updates and backups, reducing the burden on internal IT teams.
