Supported Applications
A Dedicated MCS provides an extremely flexible platform that is suitable for running a variety of different workloads. Here are a few applications and frameworks that will perform and scale extremely well.
WordPress
Joomla
Drupal
Magento
WooCommerce
PHP Zend Framework
Data Centers
Rochen owns and manages our own infrastructure in data centers in both Dallas, Texas, United States and London, United Kingdom and we have access to many other Points of Presence (PoPs) around the world through our Content Delivery Network (CDN) partners.
All of our data centers are built to the highest standards in terms of network, power and cooling redundancy as well as meeting the most stringent physical security standards.
Compliance
Working in consultation with the team at Rochen, Dedicated VMs can be provisioned to help you meet your compliance obligations.
Carbon Offsetting
We understand that operating highly redundant data centers can have an impact on the environment. This is why we have partnered with Green Mountain Energy, the leading provider of cleaner energy and carbon offsetting solutions, to purchase carbon credits to offset the emissions of our hosting operations.
Clustered Deployment Example
Dedicated MCSs provide a flexible platform. Below is just one example showing a fully redundant deployment for a Magento store. The example allows instant vertical scaling of each Dedicated MCS as well as the ability for further horizontal scaling by adding additional Dedicated MCSs. This type of setup can be easily adapted to support global load balancing across multiple data centers or for use by other applications too.
