MS SQL Server Hosting Offers Intense Security

1. MS SQL Server Hosting Offers Intense Security Only the world-class and proven security techniques are deployed by a cloud computing solution vendor that offers MS SQL Server hosting service. Top grade and fully acknowledged biometrics security techniques used by a MS SQL Server hosting service provider comprises of techniques like finger printing, hand geometry, facial recognition, and others. The facial recognition biometrics is based on the analysis of the characteristics of a person's face. A person gets access to the data center only if a facial match is confirmed. In this technique of facial recognition, a superior quality digital video camera is placed approximately two feet from a human being's face. A Microsoft SQL Server hosting service provider's superb digital video camera records the structure of the face of a person. It also records the distance between the person's eyes, nose, mouth, and jaw edges. The recorded data is stored in a database for effectively comparing the facial data a human being that stands in front of the facial recognition camera. Only when a match is confirmed; user is allowed to have access to the data center facility. Since its advent, the facial recognition method has been regarded as an efficient system for recognizing potential threats such as terrorists, criminals, or scam artists but still it cannot be deployed as a sole method of security in a MS SQL Server on cloud provider's data center facilities. The facial recognition method used by a Windows SQL Server hosting service provider has many advantages such as very simple integration into the existing access control system or into the time and attendance systems; fast verification and identification in a short interval of time; highly flexible interfaces for communication so that the terminals are well networked together; and the method of facial recognition is non-intrusive in nature. Although the facial recognition biometrics technology is used by an application hosting or cloud hosting solution vendor in its data center facility, but that does not mean that this technology of face detection is fully free from disadvantages or challenges. First challenge is that an information technology (IT) and / or security professional may have to deal frequently with the frustration of identification or verification re-attempts. This problem often arises due to the variations in lighting in front of the camera; or due to some objects placed in the background causing certain distortions in reading; variable expression of the user in accordance with his or her mood; or due to imprecise facial positioning in front of the camera. The second challenge is the inability of the scanners in recognizing the counter measures against a previously recorded clean photo such as mustaches, beards, and disguises. The third challenge revolves around the possibility of fake

The technology of facial recognition is not one hundred percent fool-proof due to the chances of making a false negative identification of an authorized person. Also, the facial recognition method offers a verification only type of method or system. Therefore, to overcome the problems of a single biometrics security system, an adept MS SQL Server hosting service provider makes use of many other security technologies along with this method.
