RequirementOne Platform

RequirementOne is a fully-hosted solution. The only system requirements are internet access and a standard Web browser.

You don’t need to purchase and maintain any special hardware or software. Your subscription also includes technology and processes designed to secure your data against physical loss and unauthorized use, 24-7 data availability except during brief scheduled software updates, and assurance that the service will scale as you add users, applications, and additional activity to the mix.

Proven high availability

RequirementOne has consistently shown high levels of data availability from the beginning. Leveraging the best in redundant data protection and facilities protection as well as a full data recovery process, RequirementOne ensures that your information is safe and quickly accessible.

RequirementOne maintains a state-of-the-art facility in California. The facility includes application fail-over should the facility suffer localized damage. Full backup systems for power and cooling and robust bandwidth fully dedicated to customer traffic further ensure data availability.

Performance

RequirementOne has, from the beginning, aimed for the best performance possible. The RequirementOne platform is designed to support numerous users and integration API activity at the same time. In addition, RequirementOne invests in the top hardware, software, and networking technology needed to deliver data quickly and retrieve data efficiently:

• Use of a multi-tenant architecture
• Deployment of the highest performing web, application, and database servers available.
• Best-of-breed network technologies, including leading switches and routers, load-balancing technologies, and firewall technologies.
• A service center, exclusively using carrier-class bandwidth and multigigabit IP transit to handle all user transactions.

Scalability

Leveraging the benefits of a multi-tenant architecture, RequirementOne service and performance are available to all customers, big and small. As your number of users and transactions increase, you needn’t worry about performance degradation, re-architecting your solution, or migrating data. We have it covered.

Security at every level

Security is a top priority in today’s technological environment. RequirementOne services include the latest firewall protection, intrusion detection software, and proprietary security applications so you don’t have to spend resources and time protecting your data.

Our facilities are staffed 24/7/365 to handle all aspects of problem resolution and client services. The data center is monitored and maintained on-site 24/7/365 by professional security personnel. Furthermore there is high-level physical security with onsite security officers, surveillance cameras, pin pad and bio-metric systems to prevent unauthorized entry.

Automatic Upgrades

As a tenant of the RequirementOne multi-tenant architecture, you are assured of always running the latest version of our service. When our product team adds functionality to our solutions, all customers get the new release of our applications and platform with little to no work on the customer’s end.

The applications and platform are upgraded on our servers, and you reap the benefits without having to go through hours and hours of tedious upgrades to your own systems. You no longer have to calculate whether a software upgrade is worth the time and cost it takes to deploy the upgrade, redo customization work, and redo integration work. And you no longer have to pay increased fees to support outdated versions of software when you decide not to upgrade. With our multi-tentant architecture, you can ensure that you’ll always be running the latest version of RequirementOne without the upgrade hassle.

Multi-tenant architecture

The power of the RequirementOne multi-tenant architecture is that all users and applications share a single instance of an application running on a RequirementOne server using Software as a Service (SaaS) functionality. Each customer’s deployment of an application occupies a separate virtual partition on the server that contains the metadata, business rules, interfaces, and so forth that are particular to that customer.

Instead of installing entirely separate versions of applications on our hardware for each customer, new versions of the software do not need to be deployed multiple times and your previous customizations are not wiped out each time a new version is deployed.

By separating each customer’s metadata and customizations from the core product, business users can add a customer’s business logic to the solution without needing to know advanced programming concepts and without affecting the core product.

RequirementOne also stores custom code in each customer partition, thereby ensuring that code written by one customer doesn’t affect other customers and preventing coding problems with one object from affecting the rest of a particular customer’s deployment.
