You may configure a cloud server with minimal parameters and deploy “mirror” of your main website on it. Once your main site becomes unavailable you may quickly switch DNS to point to your backup cloud server and upgrade its parameters to match the desired level of performance.
Websites with big fluctuations
of power needs
If your site or application has big fluctuations in traffic or computing power needs – seasonal spikes around the holidays, for example – you can easily upgrade the resources available to your site or application with “Slidebar”, and then scale back down again them once the demand subsides. We would also suggest using our convenient “scheduler” tool for these cases.
Start-up
When your start-up goes live it’s not easy to predict its future computing power needs. This is where “Slidebar” really helps, allowing you to start with basic and cheap configuration of cloud server and upgrade it from time to time as the load on your website grows.
Backstage
SlideBar service is based on the latest cloud platform – Parking.Cloud. The platform utilizes Microsoft Hyper-V R2 / Cluster Shared volume and Microsoft Dynamic Datacenter features.
Physically, a server cluster is located at one our datacenters in Moscow, Russia, equipped with top-level power supply facilities, climate systems, security system and 24x7 perimeter guidance. We use Hewlett-Packard servers with Intel 56xx series processors and SAN with Cluster Shared Volume support.
