Prithvi is located in Hitec City, the largest Information Technology park in India.
We offer world class state-of-the-art IT infrastructure under one roof. Our core hardware devices are from IBM, Dell, HP, Cisco, WatchGuard and DLink. Our technology has built in redundancy at various stages to provide maximum stability.

Prithvi being located in the STPI zone of the city renders several advantages- electricity feeds from multiple grids. Satellite gateways and fibre-optic connectivity gateways are located in the zone itself ensuring the best possible connectivity.

The development activity at Prithvi is supported by over 3,100 strong, disciplined and dedicated workforce. A large percentage of engineers are certified from Microsoft, IBM, SUN, HP, Oracle and other major vendors.

We subscribe to the most premium maintenance services from our technology partners to assure our clients a continuous operating center with virtually no downtime. High standards of SLAs ensure the shortest possible downtime in the unlikely event of a technical snag.

Connectivity

Redundancy is taken care off with multiple leased lines running from Reliance and VSNL into the Prithvi's premises. The link termination devices handle both load balancing and fault tolerance.In regard to leased circuits it thus provides performance and redundancy. With 12 Mbps of dedicated speed, our 24x7 download center helps us download, maintain and implement newer enhancements.

Security Policy

Security is not merely a product, which could be achieved by implementing various security systems, tools & policies - but a process. The security methodology to be implemented is multi-layer based and follows the principle "Defense is in Depth". The idea behind multi-layered defense security is to manage the security risk with multiple defensive strategies. If one layer of defense turns out to be inadequate, another layer of defense will, ideally, prevent a full breach.

At the physical level, access to IT Resources and Data Centre is restricted using Access Control Systems, Hand Geometry Systems, supported by redundant power supply, UPS connectivity and Industrial grade coolant systems assuring maximum uptime of the various devices. At the logical level, Prithvi follows four layered security model, hindering and filtering internet and intranet traffic at Network level, OS & Application level, Host level and Data level, thus providing secure and safe access to information. Continuous monitoring is done by Prithvi's tech support staff using Intrusion Detection Systems, Content filtering, Logging, Auditing & Backup methods to prevent and recover from break-in-attempts and network system compromise.

Objectives of Information Security

• Confidentiality - Protecting information exempt from unauthorized disclosure or interception.
• Integrity - Safeguarding the accuracy and completeness of information and computer software.
• Availability - Ensuring that information is available to authorized users only when required.

Layered Architecture of Information Security

Security Layer-1: Perimeter Defense Security Systems
Router, Firewall, IDS / IPS, Proxy, Antivirus & Mail Gateway

Security Layer-2: OS & Application Servers Security Systems
Hardening of OS/App. with proper patches, service packs, hot fixes, underlying vulnerabilities, securing mail server for Controlled Relaying and routing / SPAM filters, Configuring Addl. secure layer access for Web / FTP Servers, Filling holes and vulnerabilities in other network applications viz., ADS, DNS, DHCP.

Security Layer-3: Host Protection

• To protect against someone trying to attack from within the network
• To protect the data stored on workstation from someone coming in through the firewall

Security Layer-4: Data/Information Protection
Enterprise User & Group Policies, Separate Desktop and User Policies, Kerberos enabled Desktops and Servers, Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) for critical emails, Server Enforced Password Policy.
