Corporate Hosting Solutions

Microsoft’s new web server ‘Internet Information Server 6’ has progressed considerably since previous versions. With greater security features, performance enhancements and scalability, IIS6 provides a serious challenge to the dominance of Apache and other UNIX based web servers.

Microsoft has thoroughly stress tested IIS6 and boasts that even with over 20,000 websites on one server, IIS6 has not reached its limits (hardware excluded). A superior combination of excellent server software, Network Load Balancing facilities and the stability of Windows 2003 make IIS6 one of the worlds most reliable and scalable web servers ever produced.

Consider the following typical setup as outlined below:

Component	Details
Firewall Server	Located at the entry point to the network on a separate Windows or Linux server.
Web Servers	Load-balanced Windows 2003 servers running IIS6 and RAID 1 operating system technology; scalable technology allows for up to 32 servers within the cluster.
Disk Storage	NAS or SAN equivalent with RAID 5 single or mirrored technology for the ultimate in redundancy and performance.
Database Server	A separate server behind the firewall with RAID 5 single or mirrored technology for the ultimate in redundancy and performance.
Support	Guaranteed SLA for performance and sophisticated proactive monitoring on all software and hardware components.

With a typical configuration, such as the one outlined above, your business would have the benefits of:

Area	Details
Security	Firewalls on the outside of the network eliminate attacks from hackers. The Windows 2003 operating system and IIS6 security enhancements add to your overall security. The surface attack area of IIS6 is dramatically reduced and ‘bolted down’ out of the box, meaning web administrators only enable the services needed.
Scalability	Load-balanced Windows 2003 servers will give you the scalability solution and increased performance you need. You can add up to 32 servers for full redundancy or to cope with application/visitor demands as your business grows. NAS and SAN solutions also enable you to add more storage when required.
Performance	IIS software is now designed for 5 minutes of downtime every year. The web server now runs at the Kernel level allowing for blistering performance without placing strain on the server’s resources. Normal HTML pages are served with next to no overhead. IIS6 is most certainly the best performing web server currently available.
