Ruby on Rails Clusters
Blue Box Group hybrid clusters combine the reliable performance of dedicated infrastructure with the scalability of the cloud.
Hybrid Clusters are the perfect solution for:
Rapidly Scaling Applications
Is your application growing beyond the capabilities of your current environment? Let Blue Box advise you on the ideal hardware configuration, manage your migration, and provide your operational support for the lifetime of your application.
Enterprise Applications
Enterprise customers demand performance and reliability. Utilize Blue Box’s expertise in systems design and operations for your mission-critical applications.
Whether you have requirements for database optimization, security auditing, or an entirely unique configuration, we’ll work with you to implement the solution that best meets your needs. We have a proven track record of managing servers for customers pushing hundreds of megs of bandwidth, doing hundreds of millions of hits a day across enterprise-scale rails clusters.
Typical cluster designs utilize our Blocks cloud product to power the application and worker tiers. These are backed by powerful and reliable dedicated servers with local lightning-fast disk storage to power IO sensitive tiers such as your database or file servers. This hybrid approach provides customers with reliable performance and the capability to rapidly scale the application or worker tiers based on anticipated traffic events or application growth. Gone are the days of IO latency spikes that have become much too familiar for many customers.
Our Cloud, Our Hardware
We are not powered by a third provider’s public cloud. Blue Box’s cloud runs on proprietary technology developed entirely in-house. We are the only major Rails provider who owns and operates their own equipment, providing us with the ability to customize our deployments uniquely to your specifications.
Looking for More Security?
We can configure this same infrastructure on top of entirely dedicated equipment. This private cloud approach gives you all the flexibility of the public cloud, with the peace of mind that only you and your data are on the individual hosts.
We’re happy to answer questions or to quote out a new configuration, so drop us a line.
Looking for something on a smaller scale? We also have VPS setups.
