HostRightNow Technologies, a web hosting and data center solutions provider, has recently proven its mark in the industry as one of Microsoft’s strong and reliable partners. In a recent project undertaken with Microsoft and FreshLogic, a website and e-commerce design and development firm web, HostRightNow Technologies was able to deploy an outstanding solution that ultimately fulfilled the requirements set forth by Rajasthan University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences.
The goal of the university was simple. In line with its thrust to improve its online and web based operations, Rajasthan Veterinary University needs to migrate its internal PHP applications running on IIS 7 (the Windows 2008 environment) to a newer and better Microsoft platform without causing any negative impact on application performance and cost. There was a need for a robust, scalable, and high-performance Windows-based hosting solution physically located and easily accessible throughout India. The Rajasthan Veterinary University’s web site developer, FreshLogics, handpicked HostRightNow Technologies from a myriad of other hosting solutions to address these challenges. Both FreshLogic and Microsoft banked on HostRightNow’s reputation in delivering scalable and high-performance hosting solutions and services to companies specifically requiring expertise in programming, development and integration of applications. Truly, HostRightNow was able to rise up to the challenge.
By utilizing Microsoft’s best-in-class platforms, HostRightNow took up the task of running the PHP5 application on the Windows platform with ease. The company took advantage Microsoft’s Internet Information Services (IIS) technology enhancements and tightly integrated these with Rajasthan Veterinary University’s web application, making it’s hosted sites a center for quality resource-oriented information boasting with intuitive features. These include the IIS 7.0 Administration Pack, which provided a set of management features for tasks such as FastCGI configuration; Advanced logging, which monitores and measures media content to deliver insights into how users were engaging with web content; the IIS 7 Manager for Remote Administration, which gave administrators the ability to securely manage remote IIS Windows 7 servers from their desktop PCs; and the Windows PowerShell Snap-In, which automated both simple and complex administrative tasks.With this solution in place, Rajasthan Veterinary University reaped great benefits in terms of control, flexibility, and efficiency running its PHP 5 and mySQL sites. It also allowed FreshLogics to delegate wider administrative rights options to Rajasthan Veterinary University, which essentially helped reduce delays and errors due to miscommunication. This also empowered the University to be more involved in the daily administration of its sites, which in turn, proved beneficial to the visitors of the website. Ultimately, HostRightNow, was able to prove time and again they are the company to trust for services specializing in windows hosting and server requirements. As a testament, Microsoft highlights HostRightNow’s achievement on pages 26 and 27 in the 20th Issue of Microsoft Interface Magazine.
