Depending on your exact website requirements, we can build a highly redundant and scalable solution using Amazon’s cloud computing technology. This gives you the great advantage of utilising an industry first “pay-as-you grow” web hosting solution

Here is our suggested “enterprise” grade secure Joomla hosting architecture:

The aim is to create a secure but highly available website configuration without the need for expensive hardware and systems administration. This is achieved through a clever use of multiple “cloud” based technologies supplied through Amazon Web Services (AWS). With security as the main driving factor, this configuration provides a presentation layer in front of the web servers that acts as a barrier, pre-processing requests, directing users transparently to the least busiest web server.

Further to this, we’ve developed an industry first auto-scaling Joomla web application server environment. This provides on-demand resource scheduling allowing you to run multiple Joomla sites from a single server that automatically replicates itself when excessive amounts of users access the server. This is extremely useful for any size site as it provides the perfect “start-up” solution, together with incorporating definable scaling parameters for larger deployments.

Hidden in the background, unreachable to the public, is the vital database management server that maintains all of the content for the Joomla based sites. This data is replicated to one or more mirrors that provide redundancy at a “data level” for any user generated content. All of which are both incrementally and fully backed-up to an Amazon based secure storage area for retrieval in the worst-case scenarios.

The main advantage of using cloud based technologies is the “pay as you grow” philosophy whereby your website can operate a substantially lower cost during release, and then automatically grow when demand increases. By combining Amazon’s guaranteed 99.9% uptime together with a redundant server configuration, we are certain that visitors to the site will benefit from sustained 24/7 access, perfect for any multi-timezone organisation.
