VP of Technology at Datalex
The Datalex solution runs on the cloud and Datalex manages the relationship with the cloud provider as part of the managed services for our customers.
Datalex uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud Computing Services as their standard cloud provider. AWS has locations throughout the world. If using the Datalex managed solution, Datalex proposes locating the solution in Dublin.
Datalex’s customer solutions are hosted from within dedicated AWS accounts to deliver optimal performance, uptime, and security.
The system is fully redundant and highly available across two availability zones. In the event of a disaster in either availability zone, the second facility will automatically take over.
AWS 24x7 infrastructure and application monitoring alerts the Datalex team in real-time so that any issues can be remedied as soon as possible to minimise the impact on customers. Our experience and knowledge gained from hosting multiple customers is second to none. This has enabled us to fine-tune our monitoring, alerting, operational procedures, and runbooks to ensure reduced disruption to our customers.
Datalex uses AWS API Gateway for API management which provides key controls such as usage limits, rate limiting and access controls to ensure security and limits of the API are maintained for maximum performance. Our operational and development teams are aligned to ensure we have the expertise to set this up for optimal performance.
Security is paramount to Datalex’s hosting services. Numerous processes are in place to ensure the platform is built and managed with security at its core. This includes hardened systems, identity, and access control, monitoring and logging, WAF, DDOS mitigation and pen tested environments. Our acumen gives our customers reassurance that the people, processes and tools used to manage security are of the highest standard.
In addition to the environmental benefits inherently associated with running applications in the cloud, AWS has a long-term commitment to achieve 100% renewable energy for the global infrastructure.
The AWS cloud is used for Production, Pre-Production (Staging) and Integration (Test) environments.
