High Voltage faced one main challenge in their work

Inefficient architecture

The client faced low performance, poor infrastructure manageability and security. All of it hindered the coordinated work of the team and negatively affected the customer experience.

solutions

We found best-fit solutions for High Voltage’s infrastructure

//
AWS Cloud migration

Client's main and helping servers were previously hosted by Hivelocity.net. To ensure higher efficiency, fault-tolerance, and better manageability, we migrated the servers to an instance on AWS with the following software: Nginx+Apache, PostgreSQL, MySQL, PHP. We set up a DB backup for the old server and restored it on the new one, copied and moved files from WordPress, and reconfigured SSL certificates for the domain on the new server.

//
Auto backup system

To enforce data backup management we created and configured a backup system for all AWS servers and adopted AWS Lambda for deleted backup files. By automating the backup system, we managed to optimize expenses on backup file storage. Thus, the High Voltage team can always rely on its system to be able to roll back to the previous version and avoid data loss.

//
Monitoring system setup

As a security and fails preventive measure we add all our clients’ servers to our monitoring system based on Zabbix. Apart from this, the HVSEO team runs its own monitoring. This helps us proactively react to the system threats and enhance security.

//
Security system improvement

As too many IPs with different names constantly try to connect the High Voltage system, we set up Fail2Ban to scan log files and ban malicious IPs (IPs with too many password failures or seeking exploits).

Why AWS

AWS benefits at a glance

//

Easy to use

AWS is designed to allow application providers, ISVs, and vendors to quickly and securely host your applications – whether an existing application or a new SaaS-based application. You can use the AWS Management Console or well-documented web services APIs to access AWS’s application hosting platform.

//

Cost-Effective

You pay only for the compute power, storage, and other resources you use, with no long-term contracts or up-front commitments. For more information on comparing the costs of other hosting alternatives with AWS, see the AWS Economics Center.

//

Flexible

AWS enables you to select the operating system, programming language, web application platform, database, and other services you need. With AWS, you receive a virtual environment that lets you load the software and services your application requires. This eases the migration process for existing applications while preserving options for building new solutions.

//

Reliable

With AWS, you take advantage of a scalable, reliable, and secure global computing infrastructure, the virtual backbone of Amazon.com’s multi-billion dollar online business that has been honed for over a decade.

//

Secure

AWS utilizes an end-to-end approach to secure and harden our infrastructure, including physical, operational, and software measures. For more information, see the AWS Security Center.

//

Scalable and high-performance

Using AWS tools, Auto Scaling, and Elastic Load Balancing, your application can scale up or down based on demand. Backed by Amazon’s massive infrastructure, you have access to compute and storage resources when you need them.
