Data Center

The hosting environment, and the path into it.

Federated Digital Infrastructure provides low-latency networks, data centers, hardware and maintenance, cybersecurity and file storage. It is the hosting environment and the connectivity that support a FederatedOne deployment.

Talk about the environment

Controlled connectivity

Separate paths for the office, the remote user, and support.

The application is intended to be accessible through HTTPS over VPN, without direct public internet exposure. Outbound internet access is blocked by default, with exceptions for approved legal research sources.

How LegalApp uses it

Three access arrangements

Who connects, and how.

Office

Site-to-site IPsec VPN

An encrypted tunnel between the firm’s edge firewall and the data centre firewall.

Remote

Client VPN with multifactor authentication

Remote lawyers connect through a client VPN. Multifactor authentication is part of that path.

Support

On request, with approval

Support access is restricted to the management zone. Sessions are logged.

Office, remote and support users reach the legal application over a VPN inside the data centre. Approved legal research can go out. Other internet access is blocked. The path is kept short for low latency.

How it works with the data centre

Low latency, because the path stays private.

The application stays in the data centreThe legal application runs on the internal network. Client files stay there with it. That network is not open to the public internet, so there is no direct route in from outside.

A short path in, which is the low latencyOffice users, remote users and support each have their own path. The paths meet at a VPN, and the application is reached with HTTPS over that VPN. Traffic does not cross the public internet, so research and the matter application stay responsive.

Only approved research can leaveOutbound access is blocked by default. Approved legal research is the exception. Other internet access stays closed.
