Plex Online is protected by multiple layers of system and physical security, including
highly-secure �rewalls, detection and tracking systems, surveillance cameras,
and biometric entrance control. Plex Systems maintains a professional security
sta� dedicated to protecting your data.
Plex Online is hosted on over 50 highly-reliable, high-performance Hewlett Packard Servers. Each set of servers
performs a speci�c function. Servers include mirrored hard drives, redundant
processors, error-correcting RAM, redundant power supplies, automatic
temperature and fault monitoring, and many other advanced capabilities.
Over the last decade, the innovative Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery model has evolved to let you move
beyond traditional "client-server architec-tures" for enterprise software.
Plex Systems is a pioneer of this innova-tive model, converting the company's
software architecture from client-server to a service in 2001.

functionality as an integrated Web service, with the ability to manage and monitor
entire business operations - including the plant �oor - from anywhere, at any time.
