Cloud Computing
Jazkarta began adopting cloud technologies in 2008 when we moved our website to Amazon's cloud computing infrastructure. Called Amazon Web Services (AWS), this infrastructure provides a suite of IT services that allow you to requisition the power of Amazon's computing and storage resources. You can run any operating system and any application on this scalable hosting architecture.
Jazkarta can help you deploy your application or website to Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) as part of a CMS or web application project, or as part of a Jazkarta support plan. There are many benefits to hosting your site on Amazon EC2:
- Seamless disaster recovery with repeatable deployments
- Easily create and destroy isolated staging and testing servers that are cloned from production
- Pay-for-what-you-use metered pricing
- Launch new Zeo client machines during peak periods and shut them down when no longer needed
- Use RelStorage and SQL Databases to leverage simple master/slave replication for better geographic distribution
- Reduce bandwidth and load time for static assets with CloudFront (Amazon's CDN)
- Monitor server health using CloudWatch, send alerts if problems occur
