We are proud to work with some of the largest companies in the world from a variety of industries. Many have put us through rigorous security audits. To provide this level of service, our server farm is housed at Rackspace, one of the leading SAS 70 Type II audited datacenters in the world.
Using a world class hosting provider is only Step 1 in providing you a secure platform. Both our software development methodology and the way we've logically structured the application have security top of mind. Inkling is fully SAML 2.0 compliant making integration with corporate single sign-on solutions a breeze. All enterprise-level clients get SSL to protect traffic over the Internet, and we've even minimized registration requirements so no employee personal data beyond an email address is stored on our servers.
Your hosted marketplace can either be run publicly with its own domain and look and feel or internally with access limited by email domain (e.g. only people with acme.com email addresses can access the marketplace.) We can even filter traffic by IP address so only people physically sitting in your office or connected to your VPN will be able to access the marketplace. Others will simply get a "404 site not found" error so they won't even know your marketplace exists if they try it.
There are several hundred active marketplaces running on our platform. We process thousands of trades on a daily basis and have already scaled our infrastructure to handle marketplaces with thousands of active users. Our largest marketplace to date was for CNN during the 2008 U.S. Presidential Elections. The marketplace was launched the day before the Super Tuesday primaries with a link on the homepage of cnn.com. Given CNN is one of the top 20 most visited sites on the Internet, we registered thousands of users within a few hours, and this level of traffic continued all the way to election day.
In addition to infrastructure scaling, we also use several monitoring technologies to make sure every user is getting an optimal experience while using the platform. We regularly perform code and database query reviews. Optimization is never-ending.
