Hosting and Infrastructure
You may choose Doghouse Cloud as your primary hosting option, or if you have engaged a third-party cloud provider (AWS, Google GCS, Azure), you can appoint Doghouse to manage the service and contact.
Doghouse Cloud
We have over a decade of experience providing managed hosting services for government and corporate entities of all sizes. We can rapidly deploy and scale virtual hosting environments and control the environment’s location. We configure and tune our services specifically for the applications we build and host.
Public Cloud
We are also adept at setting up and/or managing third-party hosting arrangements on your behalf.
Devops and Monitoring
We can maintain the server application layer and monitor the resource usage of your servers, and we can monitor the CPU, memory, disk, and I/O in real time.
For detailed infrastructure monitoring, we can provide:
- Uptime reporting
- Custom dashboards
- Database monitoring
- Error thresholds.
UAT Servers
Whether you’re dishing up data with a Drupal site or marketing merchandise with Magento, Doghouse can provide you with a UAT/staging server that can host one or more instances of your web application. This environment is intended for testing new functionality, staging content, and user acceptance testing.
Each UAT server is private to your organisation and is abstracted from your production environments.
Backups and Disaster Recovery
It’s much better to prepare for disaster than to pretend one won’t happen.
Doghouse will construct a disaster recovery plan for a range of potential incidents and the expected responses, based on severity, encompassing:
- Primary, secondary, and tertiary contacts for incident types
- Approved plans to follow if a contact is not available
- Steps to take based on severity level.
We will also run regular fire drills so that in the event of a real disaster, we can keep downtime to an absolute minimum.
