HostedbySpartan™
Go To The Cloud With HostedbySpartan™
To begin, Spartan is able to offer a Spartan-Hosted platform, or a Self-Hosted platform. Offices that desire a traditional COTS (Commercial-off-the-shelf) approach can purchase and have the case management system installed locally, on their own servers. Offices that desire a SaaS (Software as a Service) approach can subscribe to HostedbySpartan™ and let Spartan handle all of the backend. With HostedbySpartan, customers do not have to maintain any servers themselves, all server maintenance is done by Spartan through Amazon’s AWS hosting. HostedbySpartan can allow your office to obtain a new, advanced Case Management System, without the headache of the hardware to run such a system.

Hosting Center
Spartan’s hosting center is Amazon Web Services. AWS’s data centers are state of the art, utilizing innovative architectural and engineering approaches. Amazon has many years of experience in designing, constructing, and operating large-scale data centers. This experience has been applied to the AWS platform and infrastructure. AWS data centers are housed in nondescript facilities. Physical access is strictly controlled both at the perimeter and at building ingress points by professional security staff utilizing video surveillance, intrusion detection systems, and other electronic means. Authorized staff must pass two-factor authentication a minimum of two times to access data center floors. All visitors and contractors are required to present identification and are signed in and continually escorted by authorized staff.
​
