Some of the things Software-as-a-Service developers are rightly worried about are uptime and performance. “How will my system perform when I deploy it?” “What will happen during peak periods?” “How will my system scale?”

Over the past number of days Ireland has been expericing heavy rain fall with many areas being hit with major flooding, such as Cork City. In the West the river Shannon was under alert as more rainfall was due and more flooding expected.

We’ve enrolled in the Microsoft WebsiteSpark Program that has just been launched. By partnering with Microsoft we can better assist website developers who run a dedicated server hosting their client’s websites.
In the first post in this article we looked at how you could get high levels of hardware fault tolerance with a “statefull” application such as a database and how it was very expensive. In this post we will look at how the C Infinity private cloud can get the same results at a fraction of the cost and with greater functionality.
I don’t blame anyone for being confused about the server hosting options that are out there. It makes picking a mobile phone billing plan or reading a constitutional amendment look easy. I thought I’d take a few minutes to explain what some of the options are in the market and compare them with the C Infinity private cloud.
