High Availability

Build a website in the cloud that’s fault-tolerant, reliable, and accessible from anywhere in the world.


Designing for fault tolerance and high availability (HA) is a necessity for running a competitive website or application. Luckily, GoGrid is simplifying the process. Our platform makes it easy for you to implement an HA solution that lets you keep your website or application running no matter what. You decide how to design your environment and control the level of fault tolerance within your data center. From failover, to clustered deployments, to syncing data across data centers, we provide the tools you need to build your solution from the ground up. And by leveraging GoGrid’s global infrastructure, Content Delivery Network (CDN) services, and private network connections, you can ensure fast access and low latency to your website or app from anywhere in the world.

Sample Configuration

Configurations vary depending on your needs. You can opt for extreme cost savings and build a network with no redundant servers or choose a full HA solution—it’s up to you. Here's an example of what a highly available (HA) website infrastructure could look like.

Components

With GoGrid, you gain all the benefits of managed hosting plus virtualization. GoGrid’s management platform makes it easy to manage your cloud infrastructure with a variety of feature-rich, easy-to-use tools. If you’re deploying scalable infrastructure, you have access to Cloud Servers, load balancing, firewalls, and storage on-demand. The result: You can set up a complete n-tiered environment in just a few minutes.

  • Cloud Servers
    Take advantage of scalable, high-performance Cloud Servers and gain all the efficiencies of server virtualization. Server virtualization reduces your capital expenses and improves operational efficiency through automation and on-demand self-service provisioning. Read more about GoGrid Cloud Servers here.
  • Load Balancers
    Fully integrated, redundant load balancers ensure you’re ready when traffic peaks. Leverage GoGrid load balancing to automatically distribute workloads across resources, clusters, and between data centers. Read more about GoGrid Load Balancers here.
  • Firewalls

Comparison

With GoGrid, you can deploy an elastic architecture that provides complete control over your resources. As demand increases due to time of day, season, or other events, you can easily scale your resources up or down to meet demand.

Traditional Hosting vs. High-Availability Cloud Infrastructure

Traditional Hosting High-Availability Cloud Infrastructure
Traditional infrastructure is inflexible Cloud infrastructure is flexible
With traditional hardware, you must buy based on your peak traffic periods, incur up-front capital expenditures, and maintain your investment over time. Provisioning traditional infrastructure can take weeks to months, and because your business is dynamic, predicting the necessary amount of infrastructure can be difficult. Most important, trying to hit the sweet spot without overspending or under-provisioning is risky. By deploying infrastructure in the GoGrid cloud, you can reduce the time required from months to minutes. With this approach, you not only eliminate the up-front fixed investment, but you only pay for the resources actually used. This approach gives you more control over your IT resources and lets you meet peak loads with on-demand scalability.
