Enterprise Managed Cloud Computing Architecture: Production-Ready, Reliable, and Scalable

        

The NaviCloud Platform sets the standard for enterprise-class infrastructure and application performance. A robust, virtualized infrastructure deployed as multiple, secure infrastructure clouds in NaviSite's data centers, the NaviCloud Platform serves as the underlying technology for all of NaviSite's infrastructure, hardware, and application service offerings. The Platform includes the building blocks of a system infrastructure service, including:

  • Virtualized servers
  • Windows and Linux operating systems
  • Storage
  • Networking
  • Firewalls
  • Load balancers


Enterprise-Class Infrastructure

The NaviCloud Platform is built on a state-of-the-art infrastructure:

  • VMware's vSphere 4 virtualization platform
  • Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS)
  • IBM XiV storage
  • Virtualized firewalls
  • Memory configurations specifically optimized for virtualization
  • Mezeo Cloud Storage platform
  • DoubleTake DR and replication software


High-Speed, Scalable Cloud Architecture

NaviSite's cloud-enabled data centers are interconnected by dedicated 1 Gbps Ethernet links, minimizing network-oriented bottlenecks. High-speed connections to physical servers hosted in data centers ensure that complex applications scale to meet business demands. Load balancing options include low-cost shared solutions to support smaller environments, and multiple virtual load balancers – deployed and managed from within the cloud portal – to support more complex environments.
