Hosting Options

We not only develop your application but we can help you host it too.  Cloud consulting services can be invaluable for businesses that want to leverage the benefits of cloud computing but lack the expertise or resources to do so effectively. By working with us, businesses can streamline their cloud adoption process, improve their IT agility and flexibility, and ultimately achieve greater business success.

There are various hosting options available and choosing the right one for your application is crucial. Here are some common hosting options to consider:

  1. Cloud Hosting: Cloud hosting involves deploying and managing your application on a virtual server, which is hosted by a cloud provider. This option offers flexibility, scalability, and reduced cost compared to traditional hosting methods.
  2. Dedicated Hosting: In dedicated hosting, you rent a physical server to host your application. This option offers more control and flexibility over your server configuration, but requires higher costs and maintenance efforts.
  3. Shared Hosting: Shared hosting involves sharing a physical server with other customers. This option is generally cost-effective, but may not provide enough resources for larger applications.
  4. Colocation: Colocation hosting involves renting space in a data center and providing your own physical server. This option provides maximum control and security, but requires high upfront costs and maintenance efforts.

Every application has different needs. Storage, backup options, database requirements, and processing requirements all vary. Our team can provide guidance on the best hosting option for your application, based on your specific requirements and budget.

The Westmoreland Software Shared Hosting Environment is a cloud-based environment backed by Microsoft Azure and shared among Westmoreland customers. These resources are dedicated to Westmoreland customers only. This option runs an app on the same Azure VM as other App Services for Westmoreland customers. This is a great money saving option for smaller applications that do not need a dedicated environment. Though shared, your application is completely secure and only sharing compute resources. Your data is segregated and inaccessible by other customers. Only authorized Westmoreland employees have access to these resources directly. Contact a Westmoreland representative to see if you are eligible for this option.

This will include both a production and development setup with all the necessary databases, application compute and storage resources. All databases are backed up daily stored for 7 days, backed up weekly stored for 4 weeks, backed up monthly stored for 12 months and backed up yearly stored for 7 years.

Why would I pick this option?

I would pick this option if I was budget conscious. This is also a great option if I have a smaller application and would like to save on hosting costs by sharing hosting spaces with other smaller applications.

Westmoreland Software recommends Microsoft Azure for your dedicated hosting environment. This option runs apps on dedicated Azure VMs. Only apps in the same App Service plan share the same compute resources. Your application will have its own App Service Plan.

Azure’s flexibility allows you to use the resources you need and scale up or down to meet your requirements.

Why would I pick this option?

I would pick this option if I wanted to be separated from other applications or if I could not be hosted on the Westmoreland Shared Solution.

Westmoreland Software recommends Microsoft Azure for your isolated hosting environment. This option runs dedicated Azure VMs on dedicated Azure Virtual Networks. It provides network isolation on top of compute isolation to your apps. It provides the maximum scale-out capabilities.

Azure’s flexibility allows you to use the resources you need and scale up or down to meet your requirements.

Why would I pick this option?

I would pick this option if my application needed more resources or had some critical reason for being isolated to my own hardware.

Westmoreland Software recommends Microsoft Azure for your custom hosting solutions. A custom solution is more likely for large, complex applications. These solutions may require multiple resources and combinations of VMs, App Services, and other Hosting Services. Other options here include AWS and Google Cloud. 

Why would I pick this option?

I would pick this option if I needed access to multiple resource types in Azure such as VMs or had a high resource intensive application.
