We completed the relocation of our server systems to the new collocation facility, SunGard, in early June and have experienced a very noticeable increase to system performance. This primary production complex now includes three load balanced IIS servers, two clustered redundant SQL servers, and two mirrored file servers with a fully redundant firewall and switch architecture. SunGard provides advanced monitoring to validate that all of the servers are not only running, but that actual application processes responsible to “serve up” the Safetec application are operational. We now exceed our previous systems availability of a 99.95% service level, and our customers are experiencing this in terms of better system responsiveness and throughput.

Safetec’s development team continued to advance Chemical Compliance Manager (CCM) v8, with a completely redesigned Chemical Inventory Module released into production in June. This redesign was based on several years of working closely with Safetec’s chemical inventory customers, such as Cooper Standard Automotive, Con Edison and McWane. The primary focus was usability, additional reporting options plus the ability to include purchased, received and usage data. This additional data extends CCM’s reporting capabilities to include SARA 313 / Toxic Release Inventory reporting which has been a highly requested feature from our customers.
