Cloud Hosting

Squiz endeavours to help our clients to make the most of their Squiz products, whether it's a single instance of Squiz Matrix or a full Squiz Suite implementation. We will work with you to determine the right hosting, architecture and deployment options for your project.

We have flexible hosting options to suit your requirements, with the choice to host your solution in the private Squiz Cloud, as a managed service or on your own infrastructure.

The Squiz Cloud

Many of our clients opt to host their solutions in the Squiz Cloud; a fully managed private cloud-hosting environment which is run by Squiz, for Squiz products and solutions. It delivers a scalable, flexible and secure online infrastructure allowing you to reap the benefits of cloud computing and realise the full value of the Squiz Suite.

The Squiz Cloud allows organisations to reduce their infrastructure costs as resources previously invested in hardware and maintenance can be reallocated towards value generating services and applications.

The Squiz Cloud also provides:

Automated Healing & High Availability
Scaling and Easy Upgrades
99.9% Uptime Guarantee
24x7x365 Health Monitoring - including all cloud hardware, Database, Web & Network services
Managed Backup Services
Carrier-Grade Network & Transit

Architecture

We offer a range of system architectures to suit different needs, each of which can be further customised to meet your organisation's specific requirements. Squiz will work with you to define and implement the most appropriate architecture according to your project requirements, business objectives and historical data.

Deployment

Squiz CMS, Squiz Search and Squiz Analytics are generally implemented as a Virtual Image, running on Linux Debian and using PostgreSQL as the underlying database, via the Squiz Suite website. This ensures that the software is optimised and enables automatic updates, which upgrade your system with minimum intervention or downtime.
