Application design for 99.999% availability and beyond with commodity components
Most hardware vendors now provide clustered server architectures built using commodity components. These hardware architectures along with failover enabled application design allow business continuity of critical applications.
While common clustering practices provide a certain level of availability, the cost of improving availability beyond four 9’s (99.99%) to say five 9s (99.999%) or six 9s (99.9999%) required for some critical applications can be exponential. This is where our approach to application design comes into play.
Based on the customer’s availability needs, we incorporate design aspects such as Session Replication and Coding Practices such as Object Serialization to ensure that there is no loss of transaction data or session information in our web applications. Such best practices along with our distributed, high performance computing offerings such as Embedded Messaging, Map Reduce, etc., we can dramatically improve availability and stability of web applications that your users rely on every day.
So, whether you are looking to improve the availability of your existing applications or are seeking to build a new one, we can help.
Contact us to find out how you can achieve extremely high levels of reliability for your critical applications without having to overhaul your enterprise architecture.
