Workstream Inc, a provider of On-Demand Enterprise Workforce Management software, has announced the roll-out of a new, state-of-the-art data center and infrastructure to be used to host its Workstream TalentCenter suite of applications.
With the industry movement to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and the hosted model, an effective and secure control environment for the hosting and software infrastructure becomes a critical piece to effective solution delivery.
"Just as Workstream took the leadership role in advancing Software-as-a-Service in the Human Capital Management space, we believe it is critical that we take the leadership role in ensuring customers of a confident and successful transition to our hosted applications by making the necessary investments in the underlying infrastructure to support it, commented Michael Mullarkey, Chairman and CEO of Workstream.
The new Workstream environment utilizes the very latest in infrastructure and technology. The primary North American data center site is a Bell Canada hosting center in Toronto, Canada. This facility received top honors as a "World Class Facility by the independent, internationally acclaimed Uptime Institute. The facility boasts 99.999% uptime, multiple and redundant power supplies and networks, state-of-the-art fire detection and suppression, industry leading physical and technical security and advanced administrative control and monitoring processes. Workstream will be using its current Ottawa-based hosting facility as its future disaster recovery site.
