Ok, so you've worked really hard to build an amazing application that does X,Y, and Z. Your application totally rocks, but you know that you need to lower the number of customer service requests from clients that come in which relate to the hardware the Application is hosted on.

So you decide to host in either Amazon or Microsoft cloud platforms. That works well, until the internet goes down and the customer is calling... You, and the rest of your highly trained development staff then become 1st tier tech support trying to troubleshoot internet problems. The customer is "completely" down and angry at you. Why? The reason is Comcast, Verizon, and No-Name ISP are all hiding behind 5 tier deep 1-800 #s, but you're an easy catch with good customer support.

So, maybe you decide that some customers can host your application in their own hardware. You build a nice manual with system requirements and such, but the customer hires some Jr. Network Outsourced IT guy who cuts corners and hosts your application on a rackmount server next to a water heater, in a basement. Guess who's calling you now and blaming you when the system goes down and the local IT is pointing fingers. Yea, that's you again.

What the *&^@%#! is an application developer supposed to do?

Ideally, you'd have both, a cloud solution and local system that could work in tandem. If you develop your application hosting structure to include your cloud based system, combined with a rock solid system on-prem that could serve as the cached application server in case of failure, you'd have one heck of a low maintenance system.

Aertight Systems, Inc. developed the Aertight™ Server Platform as a system that could really improve the situation for application developers. Our application developer clients can leave the rugged, high reliability and connectivity setups to us, without adding an enormous $ amount to their applications.
