Choosing the right hardware for a cluster can be a complicated task. Since there are too many variables it is easy to over spend on hardware that does not get fully exploited by the applications. The most common case is when bottlenecks are not identified before deployment (i.e. multiple nodes accessing one database node multiple times for each page load). As a result, a cluster can degrade the performance of your application if not designed correctly and by professionals. At E-Rigid, we work closely with the software developers, if we are not developing your application, to provide the best hardware that best fits your application to scale during periods of high load or traffic. See our examples of potential web cluster configurations.

The Best Datacenter For Your Cluster
After having a solid design for your cluster, we choose the best datacenter in the United States that provides the best solution. We have worked with many datacenters and we host your cluster in only the fastest and most reliable datacenters in the nation. We work directly with them to provide the fastest possible deployment of your cluster and hardware replacement in case of a failure.

The Best Software for the Right Hardware
Once your cluster has been setup, we integrate the nodes with the software that yields the best performance and scalability for your application. We choose the OS, web server, mail server, database server or any other software needed that will make your application robust, scalable and fault tolerant. In addition, we install the right software that lets us monitor the resources to continually optimize and change hardware and software parameters to fully exploit all the available resources in your cluster. Finally, the right software is installed to provide fault tolerance and reporting in case of a failure to rapidly handle the problem.

The Best Team For Your Business
Before taking a new client, we make sure we have a staff member that will be able to handle your needs throughout your business with E-Rigid. This allows us to provide the personalized support and a single point of contact for your needs.
