Network Infrastructure:

As Flouirsh is a cloud hosted application, having a fast, reliable, and secure network infrastructure is necessary to support operations. below are best practices to provide those that environment.

  • Hardware all equipment into the network.
  • All wiring should be​ Cat5e, or higher​ cabling, shielded as necessary, and properly terminated.
  • For self-managed networks we recommend reviewing and training on PCI Merchant Resources including PCI Firewall Basics.
  • Segregated Networks, Physical (preferred) or Logically, for Retail, Payments, General Operations, and Staff.
