What safeguards are in place for fire suppression?

State-of-the-art early detection systems are in place above and below the raised flooring in our data centers.

  •     Gaseous fire suppression systems deploy below the raised flooring.
  •     A dry-pipe system serves as an ultimate fail-safe measure

What kind of power and cooling environment run the servers?

  • We employ an N+1 redundant design across our electrical and mechanical environments to ensure an uninterruptible power and cooling supply.
  • Utility power is delivered from two or more separate supplier substations.
  • Multiple cooling towers and air conditioning units provide uniform and redundant cooling distribution.
  • Multiple UPS systems and related battery strings provide at least 15 minutes of full-load coverage during any power fluctuations.
  • Multiple diesel generators and on-site fuel supplies ensure days of replacement power if utility feeds are lost.

What about the physical security of the servers?

Physical access to Thomson Reuters data centers is tightly controlled through multizoned, multilevel access controls and monitors. Our data centers employ a third-party security firm for 24/7 security monitoring and event analysis.

What does "online data storage" mean?

Thomson Reuters provides you with data storage on our secure servers while you create and revise documents on Firm Central as well as later when you save, reuse, and archive documents.

All interaction with Firm Central occurs inside secure hypertext transfer protocol sessions (https). This is the robust encryption and transport standard used by banks, brokerages, and other businesses for all Internet transactions.
