Hosting
Network Design offers a state of the art data
center for your PowerSchool hosting. Dedicated
bandwidth is provided for your district to
ensure speedy and secure access to your data.
Our Hosting solutions also include Daily
Backups, Regular Software and Server
Maintenance, PowerSchool Server Updates.
Dedicated, secure rack for all hardware, battery
backup and all networking hardware located
within a secure facility.
This is a great solution for a district that
does not have the bandwidth or infrastructure to
host their PowerSchool solution or does not wish
to invest in the personnel, training for
personnel, hardware costs, and the time your
district personnel needs to see to these
important matters. Your district IT department
already has plenty of other important matters to
deal with and you can be sure that safety,
security and reliability are of primary
importance to Network Design.
Reliability and Security
Network Design monitors the server
environment and equipment to ensure your
PowerSchool server is always available and that
you are only a couple of clicks away to view
server uptime by date or week. If the
PowerSchool server experiences any disruption it
is communicated immediately to our support
personnel so the server can be brought back
on-line as quickly as possible.
As a Network Design customer you have web
access to the documentation on your PowerSchool
server uptimes. SSL – for Super-Secure data
transmission SSL stands for Secure Sockets
Layer. This protocol is used to send encrypted
HTTP (Web) transactions to and from your
school’s PowerSchool server. Seeing "https" in
the URL box on your browser and the “yellow
padlock” at the bottom right of your browser
means SSL (128-bit encryption) is being used to
encrypt data as it travels from your browser to
the server and assures online visitors that
confidential information cannot be viewed,
intercepted or altered. SSL protects sensitive
information — such as personal information — as
it is sent. The PowerSchool server, hosted by
Network Design, as an added feature, can use SSL
to secure all transmission of student, teacher
and administrator information.
