Hosting a Multi-Tiered Web Application with a Database Backend
This sample configuration highlights the ability to easily scale
your infrastructure to match the needs of your business.
Best Practice Based Security
To ensure the appropriate level of security, each hosted configuration begins with a hardware firewall powered by Cisco Systems. To provide an additional level of security, this configuration includes a fully managed intrusion detection system powered by Alert Logic.
Multi-tiered Hardware Model
The servers in this configuration begin with a recommended separation of the Web server from the database for better performance and future scalability. Over time, there is additional capacity to add more Web or database servers based on proactive recommendations from your assigned team of engineers. As your Web application begins to scale across multiple Web servers, fully managed load balancers can be added to the environment.
High Performance Managed Backup
Each managed hosting configuration includes a separate network dedicated to data traffic from backup or restore sessions. Every solution has access to a disk-to-disk based backup system for faster access times and greater data throughput for reduced backup times.
