This sample configuration highlights the ability to easily scale your infrastructure to match the needs of your business.

Best Practice Based Security

To ensure the appropriate level of security, each hosted configuration begins with a hardware firewall powered by Cisco Systems. Northstar Managed Hosting can provide an additional level of security by adding a fully managed intrusion detection system powered by Alert Logic.

Multi-tiered Hardware Model

The servers in this configuration begin with a recommended separation of the Web server(s) from the database(s) for better performance and future scalability. Over time, there is additional capacity to add more Web or database servers based on your needs or through proactive recommendations from your Northstar assigned team of engineers. As your Web application begins to scale across multiple Web servers, fully managed load balancers can be added to the environment.

High Performance Managed Backup

Dedicated Server configurations have the option to connect to disk-to-disk based backup systems for faster access times and greater data throughput for reduced backup and restore times. You also have the option to offload the backup process to our backup specialists. Under Northstar Managed Hosting, we take it a step further by including a dedicated backup network for every configuration and we fully manage the entire backup and restore process for your environment.
