Managed Hosting - Multiple Server Solutions

Case Study - Scenario 3: Extreme Machine!
The customer’s applications gradually became more complex and were under increasing traffic load. Application performance was decreasing resulting in customer complaints. Due to a recent application server crash the customer inquired about application redundancy. The database server was also showing signs of extremely heavy load and decreased performance.

In this case, NetNation's experts recommended to add a redundant fail-over application server in addition to a database server upgrade to a dual processor system with more RAM and a SCSI RAID 5 HDD.

Firewall, 2 Load Balanced Application Servers, 2 Load Balanced Web Servers, Database Server
• Redundant Firewall restricts unwanted traffic and increases server security
• Devotes the entire resources of two machines to serving Web-pages
• Devotes the entire resources of two machines to serving your applications
• Devote the entire resources of one machine to processing database request
• 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).
• Veritas daily incremental back-up
