Ginesys has introduced cloud hosting service for its customer as there was significant demand of cloud based Ginesys application deployment of Ginesys. In current days a many organization organizations are preferring to have a cloud base deployment rather going for an investment on on-premise IT infrastructure. The reason behind is that the cloud infrastructure is easy to deploy, scalable and cost effective. The cloud is increasingly an alternative destination for applications. Simultaneously, customers also prefer not to have dedicated workforce to manage their IT infrastructure and they are comfortable to outsource their IT maintenance job. So, addressing both the needs Ginesys has come up with Cloud hosting servicecloud hosted Infrastructure-as-a-Service, where Ginesys offers a cloud deployment of Ginesys Head-office application to their customers. Effectively a turn-key solution for customers with end-to-end maintenance support from Ginesys team.

The Ginesys Cloud Hosting is currently suitable for hosts Ginesys Head-office deploymentapplication. The Head-office application, which has mostly converted into a web-based application, still has some parts in win-form. So, it is still a requirement to have a dedicated Windows installation for Ginesys implementation. In Ginesys Cloud Hosting offering, Ginesys deploys an on-cloud Windows Virtual Machine and installs is provisioned with Ginesys Head-office application installed on that. Following are the key components of the infrastructure and services included in the offering.
A Virtual machine with Windows Server OS installed.Required security application (antivirus, Firewall) and Machine with easily scalable computing resource as required, given the number of stores and HO users

Ginesys Cloud Hosting provide the following data management support:
High availability: In case of local hard disk failure or processor failure, data is instantly replicated on parallel systems hence providing availability in very short time.
Cold Disaster recovery: The systems is backed up daily to a different data centre once every day. In case of any disaster in current data centre we can attempt to recover the data from the secondary data centre. this is a time-taking recovery and downtime depends on the size of data volume and the availability of fast standby server to move the data to.
We are providing a managed service for these 2 scenarios as far as possible.
What is the machine configuration?
The machine configuration for a new implementation subscribers is initially estimated based on the Ginesys licensed head-office user count. Once the operation starts on Ginesys the sizing Hardware resources can further be optimized as and when required based on the performance experienced by usersof application. Since Ginesys team the application support and infrastructure support both are in Ginesys team’s work scope, so any degraded performance of the application will be addressed and required hardware resource scale-up will be arranged without any additional cost. It is as good as auto-scaled but without a load of additional cost.
