Dealing with high traffic volume?
Clustered Hosting can help address these needs.

Customized clusters for demanding settings

Gossamer Threads specializes in designing complex clustered hosting environments that provide both the performance, scalability and redundancy you need. We approach each cluster by first getting a solid understanding of your:

• Current and expected normal and peak traffic levels
• Detailed performance metrics of your site
• Bottlenecks for growth in your applications
• Redundancy requirements

We will then design and propose a cluster that meets your unique needs. We will also provide full transparency and visibility into the clusters operation so you can see usage as your site grows. Included below are a few sample configurations and possible use cases:

Example 1: High content site with substantial traffic

Dynamic sites that demand substantial resources for building content can benefit from employing a cluster. As traffic and load increase, we can add to the number of application servers in the cluster, and the load balancer will automatically distribute traffic to the most available server. If you require your site to remain active at all times we can configure a cluster with an extra server set to automatically take over in the event of another failing.

Example 2: Heavy e-mail site built on Gossamer Mail

Many sites take advantage of Gossamer Mail, our powerful email platform, and have built large-scale mail solutions around it. Regardless of the underlying technology, we can create a cluster to distribute the mail volume between servers, providing the high availability required for demanding e-mail settings. A load balancer distributes incoming mail for spam and virus processing to the least loaded server. As the amount of mail traffic increases, servers can easily be added. Our performance monitoring provides an overview of the health of each server in the cluster.

Additional information

We encourage you to contact one of our Clustered Hosting experts to analyze your requirements and help put a custom cluster together for you. Clusters need to be tailor-made to fit each client's unique requirements, taking into account existing site infrastructure and software. As a result, an in-person discussion can help us start to define the most suitable solution.
