WHY USE CONTENT ACTIVE FOR MANAGED HOSTING?

ContentActive uses a dual hosting model integrating static and dynamic web content for each customer. The model uses local and co-location of services in a distributed fashion to guarantee maximum uptime and availability of customer sites. This model is based on a Distributed Internet Server Array DISA using multiple machines in a distributed manner whereby all web servers are load balanced across multiple Internet lines. The databases in this model include fail-over technology (clustering) ensuring availability and redundancy of dynamic content. All servers are secured with firewalling technology to ensure that the information is safe.

HOSTING FAQ

How does the architecture guarantee the maximum availability and security to customer sites?

The architecture includes multiple web servers, which are load balanced to serve the next request client. If any web server fails, the other web set is available to serve client requests. In dynamic web sites, redundant database servers co-exist behind the web servers and firewall for maximum protection of data and maximum availability of data resources.

Where are the servers located?

The multi-distributed servers are located in the Internap Co-location facility Downtown Houston, TX.
