HostedLABS


Technology Is The Solution The HostedLABS Application Platform is optimized for applications built using open source technologies such as the LAMP stack. The inherent features of the LAMP stack are leveraged as a fundamental element of the HostedLABS software engine. This allows us to take advantage of application self-awareness, seamlessly handle high traffic volumes and site crashes, and ensure always-on availability. Described below are the unique technological advantages of The HostedLABS Cloud Service™ Platform.
Uninterrupted Availability The HostedLABS platform is fundamentally different from other infrastructure implementations in that it spans geographic regions. By doing so, it eliminates the single-point-of-failure risk inherent in single datacenter hosting configurations. Even with a backup site, any outage in a typical hosting scenario can cause a delay in failover of up to 12 hours per occurrence. With the HostedLABS global platform, though, every application has access to the entire grid and scales out instantly. There is zero wait for failover to a back-up site and all processes continue seamlessly. This means that your application will function continuously, even if part of the platform encounters a catastrophic failure that would render a single site down for hours, or even days.	Automatic and Dynamic Scale-out Since HostedLABS built its next generation platform to run across multiple global datacenters, the software engine enables web applications to dynamically scale out across our fleet of servers when loads increase, and dynamically scale down when loads decrease. This entire scale-out process happens automatically and instantly when needed, with no human intervention. As a result, the Cloud Service™ Platform easily handles any volume of traffic, even wide fluctuations and abnormal spikes, by using the entire grid to seamlessly disperse the load.
High Performance Distributed Computing HostedLABS is not just another implementation of virtualization technology. Virtualization helps hosting companies make one server look like many servers, but does nothing to address single point of failure risk. Our platform, on the other hand, makes use of high performance distributed computing principles that make many geo-distributed servers look and behave like one high-powered server. Because the platform operates on a global footprint users are automatically routed to the closest site, with every customer experiencing minimal latency and the fastest response times possible. No other traditional hosting option provides customers with this same promise of high performance under any demand.	Unlimited Capacity Since scalability is also critical for our customers, our grid computing hardware infrastructure has been designed and provisioned with unlimited capacity. This ensures that your application has access to as many servers as necessary to handle peak traffic spikes, as well as sufficient capacity to handle normal steady-state growth. The level of scale that we offer by leveraging a globally distributed software and infrastructure architecture cannot be matched with any traditional cluster implementation.
