Case
1 - Growing Application Service Provider (ASP)
Problem
A growing Application Service Provider (ASP)
wants to spend more time on it's core product and less
on infrastructure such as data center, network,
servers and operating systems . The application is a well designed, 3-tier
architecture using a fairly complex configuration of
multiple Linux servers and a MySQL database.
GenTech listened carefully to the requirements and
identified scalability challenges with the current
design. They forecasted significant customer growth
but wanted to preserve
capital for product development and marketing, not for
their infrastructure.
Solution
GenTech provided a scalable solution of load
balanced Linux servers with a specific configuration
for accessing the mySQL servers. In addition, the
servers are backed up to disk offsite for disaster
recovery scenarios. The company now can
focus on it's product. Whenever they see a degradation
in performance they
order another set of servers from GenTech to accommodate the scale.
Quickly after servers are built,
tested, deployed and in production behind load
balancers, ready to help them grow. Secure, Reliable
and Scalable.
