Managed Hosting - Multiple Server Solutions

Case Study - Scenario 2: Performance!
The customer had out grown his current service. Web traffic had increased significantly placing too much stress on their single Web server causing it to crash. Even though the server was backed up it took a couple of hours until a replacement server was built, resulting in lost sales and angry customers. In addition, since the database server was processing increasing numbers of requests performance was beginning to suffer.

In this case NetNation’s experts recommended to distribute the load between two redundant failover Web servers, and to upgrade the database server to a dual processor system with more RAM and a SCSI RAID 5 HDD system.

Firewall, 2 Load Balanced Web Servers, Database Server
• Firewall restricts unwanted traffic and increases server security
• Devotes the entire resources of two machines to serving Web-pages
• Load Balancing divides site traffic between two Web servers, easing the load on both servers (which allows better site performance) and providing redundancy in case one server fails (traffic automatically goes to the still-active server).
• Devote the entire resources of one machine to processing database request
• Veritas daily incremental back-up
