EVOBITS IT
SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE MEASURES
Evobits ’ security and compliance measures include pursuit of a SOC 2 certification , whilst also implementing network isolation to separate critical systems from general infrastructure . The company ’ s Internal security practices include encrypted storage of sensitive documents , requiring virtual private network access with two-factor authentication plus additional encryption passwords .
“ Even our internal sensitive data , such as invoices , are encrypted and require VPN access with two-factor authentication , plus an additional password for decryption ,” says Silviu . “ We considered ISO 27001 but opted for SOC 2 because most of our largest clients are from the US and SOC 2 is more important to them .”
Power distribution cables inside the data centre
An early client of EvoBits IT after this strategic rebrand was Stability AI , an organisation responsible for AI image generation technology .
The company ’ s approach to hardware deployment now differs from standard industry practice . While purchasing pre-built servers for high-end requirements , EvoBits IT assembles many AI servers in-house and also incorporates desktop-level central processing units ( CPUs ) for enhanced single-core performance that can take place throughout the data centre .
To overcome the main disadvantages of using desktop-level CPUs , this assembly involves custom power distribution boards and PCIe switches , components that manage power delivery and data transfer between computer parts .
“ To become competitive with the bigger companies , we had to do something different ,” explains Silviu . “ For the high-end servers that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars , we still purchase those , but for smaller AI servers , we actually assemble them ourselves .”
