Across all platforms, redundant power and networking maintain seamless operations.
Revolutionary Storage Solutions for Limitless Potential
CloudSigma's clustered storage, using SSDs and magnetic drives, ensures triple-layered data security. Our approach surpasses traditional storage by maximizing IOPS performance across server clusters, utilizing advanced hardware. Experience fast, low-latency access with our unique network protocol and on-disk format. We ensure reliability and redundancy, outperforming RAID systems, with data spread across servers. Even during node failures, our system seamlessly shifts to available nodes, maintaining consistent performance. CloudSigma's storage embodies our dedication to availability, performance, and value, supported by features like hot node replacement and triple replication.
Unparalleled Security for Absolute Peace of Mind
CloudSigma prioritizes security, with advanced firewalls on routers, SSL/TLS 256-bit encryption, and Cloudflare partnerships for enhanced web safety. DDoS protections monitor traffic, maintaining smooth operations. We use SSH protocols, LDAP access controls, and CA over LDAP for cryptographic integrity. 2FA, VPNs, LastPass, and ReCaptcha bolster defenses. Regular vulnerability updates from Linux communities and HPE, plus penetration tests with tools like nikto and OpenVAS, ensure robust protection.
CloudSigma's architecture is crafted with contemporary design principles, devoid of limiting legacy constraints. We emphasize availability, performance, scalability, and effortless maintenance. Our modular, decoupled framework ensures adaptability amidst rapidly changing tech landscapes. Opting for resilient components, we maintain the agility to chart our own course without being tied down. Every architectural decision is made with a focus on scalability and a hardware-neutral stance. Furthermore, our commitment to innovation is evident in our continuous efforts to enhance user experience. We proudly integrate a myriad of external drivers and foster valuable partnerships with names like HPE, VMWare, Ubuntu, Zendesk, Nagios and New Relic, ensuring our cloud remains relevant and user-centric.
