Who is it for? |
Our 100% uptime solution ensures your web site(s) or applications remain online even in the event of a hardware
or full server failure.
This solution is ideal for large corporate web sites, high-traffic web sites or business solutions where system
downtime would prove extremely costly. The solution consists of disk mirroring, plus load balancing technology
and ensures incoming requests to your website or system are distributed to the least busy server.
As well as providing protection from hardware failure, load balancing ensures that one server is never overloaded
with requests. It also ensures that visitors to your site(s) receive super-fast responses to the pages they access.
The following solution is designed for high traffic web sites that receive more than 10,000 visitors per day. If your
site receives less than this please take a look at our "Mini" version of this solution.

How does it work? |
The following diagram describes how the solution works: -
|
 |
| |
1) Internet traffic enters the protected network and is routed to the least busy server.
2) The web hosting cluster uses server mirroring to ensuring data served from either server is identical. Web servers are checked for availability and should one suffer a failure, all requests are automatically routed to the second server. Therefore ensuring the web site remains online. The failed server component can later seamlessly be replaced and reactivated without causing disruption to service.
3) Database requests received from the web servers are forwarded to the least busy SQL Server database server. Each server in the cluster is again monitored for availability ensuring that should one suffer a failure, calls are routed and processed to the second server. This additional server power ensures ultra-fast response times to the end user as well as significantly increasing reliability.
4) SAN Storage holds the physical SQL Server database. This is key to the solution and ensures that should one of the SQL database servers fail, the second server can still access the latest copy of the data and continue processing.
5) The complete solution is protected by a secure network perimeter that guards against malicious attacks from the internet. Windows IP Security Policy can be used to lock down all unnecessary ports, plus can be combined with a hardware firewall for additional security.

Is there a version for Linux? |
Yes. Although, the solution described above has been designed for a Windows operating system and
demonstrates what is achievable, the solution can also be applied to the Linux operating platform.
|
How much does it cost? |
