Dedicated ServersBenefits of Cloud Computing
Time-to-market:
With AppLogic™ you can accomplish everything you can with traditional co-location, but in a fraction of the time because there’s never a delay to provision hardware, rebuild images, test configuration changes. Even rolling back to test previous versions takes just minutes.
Scalability:
You’ll never need to over-provision again. AppLogic allows you to scale your service at virtually any time, so you pay-as-you-grow.
Easy multi-tenancy:
AppLogic makes it so easy to deploy and scale individual copies of your application for each customer. This way the complex multi-tenant architectures can become a thing of the past.
Application snapshot:
Traditional backups only protect your files. Actually restoring and using the data is complicated at best. In contrast, AppLogic snapshots are a complete executable instance of your application with all of its data. Every time you need you can roll to a running version of your application that runs when restored and includes all the data from that period.
The Easy Way to Achieve Reliability and Scalability
There are now more than 100 million websites on the Internet, but the hosting infrastructure behind them remains imperfect. Hardware failure is a fact of life, even on high performance brand name equipment. It could take hours to set up a replacement server, reinstall software, make any configuration changes to match your previous settings, and restore your data from backup. Of course, that last step assumes you have a relatively recent backup. In addition, most hosting platforms aren’t scalable. If your application grows beyond the constraint of your current systems, the most common next step is moving to more powerful servers. This involves scheduling down time, migrating your data, making sure your code runs on the new equipment, and waiting for DNS to propagate. If you’re looking for a more convenient solution, we think you’ll be interested in the following.
On-Demand Scalability
With CariNet, expanding your infrastructure no longer involves configuring new servers, reinstalling software, and moving your data. Instead, your application can be scaled from a fraction of a server to dozens of machines (or more!) with no need for code modification. That’s because you application isn’t bound to a particular physical resource. Instead, applications are packages into self-contained and portable logical entities. This means you can start, stop, resize, copy and backup your whole system with one single command.
Universal High Availability
With CariNet there will be no more to data loss and extended down time. All data on CariNet’s cloud is automatically mirrored across the grid it resides on. In the event a physical server become unresponsive, all data remains available, and all affected appliances are automatically restarted elsewhere on the grid. This means that your application will be back online within minutes, not hours or days.
Convenient Snapshots
Forget about data-only backups. Instead, take whole-application snapshots. Snapshots capture the current state of your code, content and databases. Best of all, your entire system becomes available for point and click re-deployment. This comes in very handy if you need to roll back any changes you’ve made.
Efficient Use of Resources
A virtual private datacenter is one of the most efficient ways to use hardware. You can deploy a wide range of services – from a simple virtual server for web hosting to complex n-tier applications in the same VPD, allocate resources simply, and manage them from the same web interface. With a virtual private datacenter, you have total control over the allocation of every bit of processing power, storage space and bandwidth capacity.
Development and Test
Developers often write their code without access to the whole application. After all, deploying the application has been cumbersome . . . until now. With a virtual private datacenter you can simply copy an entire n-tier application and run a new copy for each developer, each with a fraction of the resources of the primary application. These copies can be run on the same virtual private datacenter without interfering with the primary application in any way. And when it’s time to test the new code you deploy dozens, or even hundreds, of copies to speed testing.
