F.A.Q

How is application availability ensured by the application service?
The exact measures taken to ensure availability depend on the customer’s requirements. The availability of applications supported by Managed Application Services can be ensured by various measures:
Redundancy: The use of redundant hardware and network elements can reduce the probability of failure.
Resilience: Applications can be configured to run on multiple servers simultaneously to minimize downtime.
Backup and recovery: Regular backups of applications and data enable fast recovery in the event of a failure.
Monitoring: The applications and associated systems are monitored to identify and correct potential problems at an early stage.
Maintenance: Regular maintenance and updates of applications and systems can help to increase availability.
SLA: A Service Level Agreement (SLA) can guarantee application availability and define availability requirements.
How are security requirements met by managed application services?
Meeting security requirements is an important part of managed application services. Here are some examples of measures that can help meet safety requirements:
Access control: Access rights for the applications and data are set and monitored to prevent unwanted access.
Firewall: Firewall rules are implemented to control and protect traffic between internal and external networks.
Encryption: Sensitive data is encrypted to protect it from unauthorized access.
Security patches: Regular security patches and updates are installed to close known security holes.
Compliance: Adherence to legal and industry-specific compliance requirements is monitored and ensured.
How are updates and maintenance performed by Application Services?
Updates and maintenance are important to ensure application availability, security and performance. Here are some examples of approaches that can be taken by managed application services providers:
Regular maintenance schedules: Updates and maintenance are performed at scheduled times to minimize the impact on application availability.
Test environments: Updates and changes are first tried out in a test environment before being implemented in the production environment.
Rollback option: If there are problems after implementing updates or changes, there is an option to revert to a previous state.
Notifications: Customers are notified in advance of scheduled maintenance and updates.
Documentation: All maintenance work and updates performed are documented and available.
Automation: Maintenance work and updates can be carried out through automation processes.
How are applications scaled to fit the needs of the business?
Scalability is an important aspect of managed application services, as it allows the capacity of applications to be adapted to the changing needs of the business. Here are some examples of approaches that managed application services providers can use to ensure application scalability:
Cloud-based applications: Cloud-based applications make it possible to quickly and easily adapt capacity to the needs of the business by adding or removing resources such as storage, CPU and memory.
Auto-scaling: Auto-scaling is a technology that automatically adjusts capacities to the current load.
Containerization: Containerization makes it possible to divide applications into individual components that can be scaled independently of one another.
Load balancing: Load balancing distributes the load across multiple servers to ensure application scalability and availability.
Capacity planning: Capacity planning makes it possible to predict the future needs of the company and adjust capacities in advance.
