Online application management

» Unlimited computing capacity

» Auto-scaling of platform

» 24/7 platform administration and monitoring

Every new application or social game progresses through a sequence of stages from concept & development to introduction, growth, maturity and decline. This sequence is known as the product life cycle and is not only associated with changes in the marketing situation, but also has its impact on demand for capacity.

As a developer of online applications you understand the importance of first move advantage in today’s competitive markets and don’t want to be held up by the infrastructural challenges of managing IT through your application’s life cycle. Also, you want to keep your costs as low as possible to maximize return on investment, thus avoiding unnecessary investments in hardware and infrastructures.

Auto-scaling to meet demand

Throughout the entire application life cycle traffic will fluctuate due to seasonal influences, popularity, promotions, and so on. Predicting the effects of an increase in product awareness and interest is troublesome at best, so you have to acquire hardware based on expected peaks in workload and hope actual demand does not surpass your estimations. When this happens, you can only sit back and hope for a minimal amount of downtime for your application.

Jitscale uses the capacity of multiple cloud computing vendors in order to create the best possible infrastructure, tailored to your specific needs. Jitscale offers virtually unlimited computing capacity using the millions of physical servers in its cloud. Available on demand and per hour. A major advantage of using the Jitscale cloud for your infrastructure is flexibility. You no longer need to invest in systems and building a platform based on an estimated potential load or usage.

Jitscale will automatically add or remove servers by anticipating on the load of your platform. Scaling can be done both vertically – Jitscale will expand computational capacity – and horizontally – Jitscale will add new instances to the infrastructure. To decide what method is best Jitscale uses its internal Decision Making Tree process which analyzes the platform every few minutes to configure the best scaling plan.

SLA based management

Jitscale services are fully managed. Jitscale not only supports the infrastructure but also every software layer on top of it. The operating systems, database clustering and application server can be managed, 24/7, year round.

Jitscale creates a Support Level Agreement (SLA) covering every aspect of services provided. This SLA states how and when Jitscale provides its services, how to monitor and report and who to report to (either in a monthly report or in case of platform irregularities).

Jitscale brings you over a decade of internet platform management experience resulting in pro-active monitoring (signalling certain patterns before they become problems) and always available support (worldwide, 24/7 inspection and tackling of any possible problems).
