Highly Available Managed Traffic
The Cisco Systems hardware firewalls in this configuration operate in an active-passive mode for instant failover. Northstar Managed Hosting can provide an additional level of security and security event correlation by including a managed intrusion detection system and a managed event log system powered by Alert Logic.
Fully Redundant Hardware Level
The Web servers in this configuration sit behind redundant load balancers for failover protection and web traffic optimization. Additional Web servers can easily be added over time as traffic demand scales. Additional servers are configured as dedicated application servers with room to scale over time. Database servers are clustered and connected to clustered storage, supplied by a storage area network (SAN).
High-Performance Managed Backup
Dedicated Server configurations provide the option to connect to disk-to-disk based backup systems for faster access times and greater data throughput, which results in reduced backup and restore times. You also have the option to offload backup to our backup specialists. Under Northstar Managed Hosting, we take a step further by including a dedicated backup network for every configuration and we fully manage the entire backup and restore process for your environment.
