This initial specification is good for an average of over 100 websites!

The dediserve cloud platform now includes the ability to firewall your cloud machine. Included completely free of charge with every account, you can now easily and quickly configure your firewall rules from your dediserve control panel or API.

Simple click on the “firewall” icon in your control panel under the “billing info” tab to the right hand side.

You will then be presented with the firewall configuration page.

Set the default firewall rule to “drop”, this will close all the ports on your machine, you can then simply open the ports you like, including the standard 80 (http) , 21 (FTP) etc.

As the term “cloud” becomes more prevalent, and the education and expansion of its use becomes more and more apparent, it’s great to see it in full swing doing exactly what it says on the tin. That’s exactly whats happened on Sunday when a dediserve client- Bang Ecommerce had a website PartyInABox.ie appear on the hugely popular Dragons Den TV show.

Before the appearance, the cloud machine was seamlessly upgraded to 12GB RAM and 6 CPUs and, during the course of their appearance the traffic level sky rocketed but the site stayed online without any impact – meaning every single potential customer and visitor to the site was delivered.

Once the traffic had returned to more normal levels, the machine was scaled back, again without so much as a reboot, ensuring the client only paid for the resources for the short window they were required.

Unfortunately not everyone is as well prepared and using dediserve as every other site that appeared that night went down under the traffic load.

This particular example explains easily the huge benefits of moving to a cloud platform, as before you would have had to shut down the server, manually upgrade the spec of the machine and then boot back up, also traditional physical providers would not allow this for only 3 days and would insist on tying you into a contract for the new resources even if not required ongoing – by moving to the cloud the power is now back in the hand of the consumer.

As the days and months go by more and more coverage is being given to the new
communication kids on the block , tools such as twitter , yammer , and more recently google wave. There has become talk of e-mail as a communication tool eventually no longer leading as the forefront of modern day communication.

However from what we can see here in dediserve , that is not, going to be for a considerable amount of time and with approx. 2.25 Billion emails currently being sent out every day , that’s an enormous mindset that looks unlikely to change within the next ten years.

With e-mail being such a vitally important communication tool for both our personal and business lives, it’s availability is paramount, email downtime now costs money, due to missed meetings or sales potentials, where another company who was able to respond straight away has closed the deal.
