THE CLOUD - WITH CHRIS MILLER, CONNECTRIA

Challenges - Responsive Site

With no idea of how many concurrent

users we would be hosting we wanted to

start small but with room for growth

Cognos required more resource than

anything else so was given a separate

server

The site was locked down to outside

access with all traffic going through IBM

HTTP Server

With Connectria hosting the servers we

can easily provision more memory or disk

on the fly
