Section 4 – Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to implement the system?
After you fill out the Buy Now form, we can have your system User ID ready in one business hour. We also have a
great User Guide which contains an implementation chapter with a proven methodology that describes how to
successfully and quickly implement this system in a matter of days. You can also use our powerful student import
feature allows to import family, student, lesson/class and enrollment information (not financial) from a simple
spreadsheet in a matter of minutes.
What is the advantage of subscribing versus licensing of software?
Rentable or "hosted" applications save time and money. With a hosted application, you avoid the costs and
overhead of, testing, installing, and maintaining an application on your own servers. The monthly rental fee covers
the use of our hardware, software, databases, general system administration, and eliminates time required for
performing an installation.
What has been done to ensure a highly available system?
Our systems have no single point of failure. This means that every component of the system has a backup that can
be used in case of some type of failure. Most of these components are actually setup in such a way that the system
will fail-over without causing any down time.
Our servers are located in a Tier One state of the art computer facility, www.Peak10.com, specifically built for
supporting Internet servers. This facility was designed for providing high availability to the Internet. The data center
is engineered with multiple levels of security, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), redundant HVAC systems, and
fire suppression, as well as 24 X 7 monitoring and management. It is our belief that our systems will have a higher
uptime than your own computer systems.
Security Measures
• Biometric (fingerprint access) scanning technology verifies identity for authorized access into the facility.
• Proximity card access with PIN, in addition to biometric clearance, is required to enter/exit the facility.
• No open cabinets. All of our steel mesh cabinets are fitted with combination locks. As a result, no keys can
be lost or duplicated.
• Video surveillance cameras are hidden throughout the facility, monitored by our 24x7 Solution Support
Center (SSC); tracks and records access throughout the facility.
• Strategically placed motion/vibration detection devices alert Peak 10 SSC personnel of any forced entry..
• Redundant, uninterruptible power system and diesel powered back-up generator.
• Regular testing and maintenance of back-up systems and procedures
These are some of the reasons are why we believe your data is safer with us than in a less secure environment like
a school, studio or school.
I am concerned about my data being out on the Internet, how secure is my data?
If you have access to the Internet from the computer that stores your current lesson/class management system,
your data is already on the Internet and is vulnerable.
An analogy we like to use is that you don't keep your life savings at your house, you take it to a place built to protect
money. It is our belief that your data is safer with us than in your facility. Our servers are behind state of the art
firewalls, monitored 7 x 24 x 365, requires biometrics to enter and reside in the same facility where some of the
largest U.S. banks host their servers. We take storing client information very seriously and adhere to the strick
credit card processing security rules and policies.
What if I want to terminate my relationship with Jackrabbit Technologies, how do I get my data?
You can terminate your relationship with Jackrabbit Technologies at anytime. You can also download your
information to Excel at anytime to have a backup in your possession.
