Hosting

We host our applications with Mosso | The Rackspace Cloud because we know that their reliable platform and “Fanatical Support” supports our applications and technology seamlessly.

From the first byte served, your site is hosted on advanced clustered technology designed for high-traffic, high-performance applications. Modern web applications require technologies like clustering, load-balancing, and SAN storage; the kinds of technologies large enterprise sites use to stay online. When we looked for a partner to host and help grow our applications we knew we couldn't find anyone offering a more advanced technology and support.

“When your site grows bigger and needs to scale there’s nothing more to do”, according to Component Web Services, Chief Technology Officer Don Culbertson.

Backed By Rackspace

What we wanted to do was pretty complex, so luckily, we had the support of Rackspace, an industry leader that currently manages over 30,000 servers for customers all over the world. They have a large amount of expertise with advanced Windows configurations, and their Zero-Downtime Network has lived up to its name for years.

You can only guarantee the uptime on a redundant web cluster if the network and datacenters you're using are world-class.

It starts with the Datacenter

The first piece of the Superstructure platform is the data center. Rackspace data centers are known as being the best in the business. They're owned and operated by Rackspace and have redundancy in all the critical systems (like power systems, HVAC systems, etc.) They're built for exceptional uptime.

Add in an Ultra-Redundant Network

Next up the Superstructure stack is the Rackspace Network. To provide multiple redundancies in the flow of information to and from the data centers, Rackspace partners with nine separate network providers and utilizes only high-performance bandwidth. The network's configuration, co-developed with Cisco, guards against any single point of failure at the network layer. Finally, to ensure the fastest and most reliable network connections possible, the entire network is closely monitored for efficiency and end-user performance, and the network's topology and configuration automatically adjust in response to traffic pattern changes. The advanced and meticulous engineering of Rackspace's data centers and networks provide a perfect complement to Mosso's clustered infrastructure, allowing us to offer our clients the best solution on the market today for managing their online content globally.
