We provide server management and hosting infrastructure services tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients' applications. Our services are designed to ensure seamless, secure, and efficient operations through ongoing management, infrastructure optimisation, and modern deployment practices.
Hosting infrastructure & Server Management
Time and time again, we see underperforming hosting infrastructure resulting in unstable websites or applications. This is often caused by the infrastructure not being suitable for the application it is hosting.
When we take over the hosting management for a client, we conduct an audit of their current infrastructure and software applications. Only by truly understanding the applications that are being operated AND the infrastructure can you make informed and efficient decisions. Often, we identify areas where improvement can be made to make the infrastructure more suited to running their specific application.
Once identified, a solution can be deployed. This can involve both code changes and infrastructure changes. A good example is when we did this for Cloud Nine Hair, improving the amount of concurrent checkouts that could be handled by a factor of 17x whilst also reducing the AWS hosting bill by $29,000 per year!
As well as speed and hosting efficiency, we also look closely at your application's redundancy. Truly business-critical applications should be operated on infrastructure that can handle sudden increases in traffic and not have single points of failure.
Benefits to having us manage your infrastructure
By having a deep understanding of your application's specific requirements, we can optimise your infrastructure accordingly. Although some hosting providers offer a general solution, they often lack the necessary insights into your application’s unique needs. Resulting in a general solution being provided, not specifics to your needs, which often leads to inefficiencies.
The standard solution offered by those who do not thoroughly understand your specific bottleneck is to simply throw more power at the problem. This results in increased costs and never really understanding the root cause of the issue.
Thorough deployment processes
When we manage your hosting infrastructure, one of the key benefits is having complete control over the deployment process. This allows us to set up modern deployment pipelines that ensure quicker and more reliable releases. By streamlining deployments, we reduce the chance of critical steps being missed, making the process much more robust.
Proactive Monitoring
We also take care of monitoring through a dedicated dashboard with real-time alerts. This reduces the burden on you as the client, as our aim is to identify and resolve issues before you even become aware of them. By constantly monitoring the environment, we can ensure that potential problems are addressed swiftly, minimising downtime and disruptions to your business.
Stay Compliant
Maintaining up-to-date server software is critical to both performance and security. We would handle patch management, ensuring that all your server software is kept current with the latest updates. This significantly reduces vulnerabilities and ensures your infrastructure is secure against potential threats.
Ingesting logs into a SIEM tool
Finally, we can integrate log data into a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tool if your organisation needs it. By gathering security information from all your software and hardware, we can help you identify and address any potential security concerns quickly. This comprehensive approach strengthens the security of your infrastructure and ensures that any risks are managed promptly and effectively.
