Case Study - Vital Football
Introduction
Vital Football is the sports network run by the fans for the fans. This new
and exciting network allows passionate supporters of football to have their
say about the beautiful game. Covering all the UK football leagues, from the
premiership to the Scottish third division, Vital Football aims to be the
one stop resource for everything football.
Requirements
The vital football website is very content rich and the following
criteria had been set:
- Large disk space
- Multiple FTP access for various Journalists
- Expansion and load balancing
options
The Solution
The site is based on our Windows
Professional Plus servers.
Based on a powerful Pentium 4 Processor with 80Gb of hard drive
space on a RAID format, this provided a perfect setup for a new
startup company. The server is capable of running the many multiple
FTP connections required, as well as dealing with peak volumes
(eg after and during matches). The RAID disk mirroring helps
keep down costs with the added benefit of knowing that in the event
of data corruption or disk failure an immediate backup is available
ensuring information is not lost and downtime is non-existant.
Scalable Solutions
Should demand increase beyond
what the server can reliably perform, additional temporary servers
are available on short-term 1 month contracts. Thanks to our unmetered
data transfer solutions the number of customers visiting,
or their frequency, will not penalise the company with additional
charges beyond their subscription.
