Backup and Redundancy
Services >> Network Design and Implementation
As the old adage goes, “if it isn't broke, don't fix it.” Unfortunately, that adage has caused considerable damage to businesses that rely on their IT but don't properly plan for the worst. Because as their business grew, their IT did not, leaving them with older, out-of-date systems attempting to keep up with increased demand.
With proper backup and redundancy, PixelRiver can ensure that in the event of IT disaster, your business isn't left without the critical systems that help drive it. From secondary servers to mirrored databases, PixelRiver's consultants assess and analyze your IT system, pinpointing critical failure points and implementing the backup systems to ensure 100% system uptime and availability.
What Should I Backup?
Most businesses think that “backup and redundancy” refers just to their databases. And although it's a great idea to replicate your critical data, you should also look at your mission critical applications. What happens if one of your internal web servers goes down? Or the VPN? PixelRiver can help identify those critical points to ensure proper stability to your IT operations.
Virtualized Application Servers
As virtualization has begun to grow within the enterprise, new uses are being found for the amazing technology. One of those uses is virtualizing application servers. Rather than relying on stand-alone boxes that are expensive to house and maintain, you can host multiple virtual machines across a high-availability server cluster (three boxes) that can spread the load of critical applications over multiple virtual machines. So if one goes down, the other virtual machines are still operating to provide your employees access to the software they need.
