Managed Hosting - Multiple Server Solutions



Case Study - Scenario 1: Expansion!
The customer had out grown his current service. Web traffic had increased significantly placing too much stress on the single dedicated server, which was running the database Web server and software firewall all on the same machine. Security was a concern since a colleague’s server had recently been compromised -exposing vital customer data! To make matters worse some of this vital information had been corrupted and forever lost.

The customer needed to both increase performance and security while ensuring the safety of the customer data.
In this case NetNation’s experts recommended to dedicate the resources of one machine per major function and back-up their vital data on weekly full, and daily incremental basis as follows:

Firewall, Web Server, Database Server
• Firewall restricts unwanted traffic and increases server security
• Devotes the entire resources of one machine to serving Web-pages
• Devotes the entire resources of one machine to processing database requests
• Veritas daily incremental back-up
