NOVAtime manages the ongoing performance, server tuning, security and stability of the NOVAtime 4000 SaaS. The highest level of quality and service is continually offered and is built on the best possible hardware and software infrastructure to minimize the risk of service interruptions.

Less IT Management - Dramatically reduces the up-front costs and management efforts.

• Get excellent reliability and performance
• Deployment is minimal and fast
• No additional hardware required.
• Avoid building and maintaining redundant network and hardware infrastructure necessary to operate an on-premise software application.
• Avoid management of service, upgrades, backups and support which include hardware and infrastructure.

Subscription-Based – A pricing model that makes sense.

• Saves money – No need to pay for excess capacity. Lower total cost of ownership and quicker time-to-value.
• Supports pilot rollout – The scalability of the NOVAtime 4000 SaaS enables you to test its functionality, reliability and performance in limited deployments if necessary.
• Enjoy Enterprise-class reliability and performance without buying a perpetual license, hardware and ongoing IT maintenance.

Available Payroll Interfaces

Maximum Security

• SAS 70 Type II CertifiedData center with 24/7 video surveillance and security personnel.
• All connections are secured with 128-bit SSL encryption to ensure data is protected.
• Layers of firewall and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) are deployed to control access and protect our services from exploitation.
• All devices and systems are secured with the latest patches.
• Every data collection device is issued a unique access code and expiration date, which is used to authenticate with our service before data communication can be established.
• Randomized image Authentication provides an extra level of security for user validation.

High Availability

• The service is engineered with redundancy in all significant layers, from power to hardware components.

• To achieve great uptime for internet connectivity, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) technology and connections to multiple tier I backbone providers are used.
• Fast and reliable data recoverability with disk-to-disk multi-site backups are ensured.
• The service is designed to work flexibly on a multi-tiered model with intelligence to keep all user session information intact, even when changing servers in another tier.  This innovation allows NOVAtime 4000 SaaS to run in a load-balanced configuration in any tier.  Cluster of servers are available in each appropriate tier, and with a hardware load balancer - high performance and availability in ever tier is achieved.

 True Scalability

• NOVAtime SaaS is designed on a multi-tenant architecture meaning customers share infrastructure and code base without separate stacks of hardware and software for each customer. It allows us to achieve fast deployment and true stability to help all customers grow.
• The network provisioning allows us to burst all the way up to LAN speed to accommodate any increase in network traffic. The multi-tier software architecture and cluster design allows the ability to add server capacity on demand, at the precise tier, without interrupting service.
• Network bandwidth and system resources are monitored comprehensively to ensure capacity constraints are not a factor – capacity is added well before required.
