Cloud Hosting

Cloud Host Provider#

• Databases are hosted on AWS RDS (Amazon Relational Database Service).
• QuickEasy is allocated a cluster within that server.
• An unlimited number of databases can be created within this PostgreSQL cluster.

Regions#

• The service is region-based. The current regions are:
  • Cape Town
  • Singapore
  • Thailand
  • Ireland
  • UAE
• More regions can be added.
• Each region contains a backend server, and desktop applications connect directly to a database in the same region.
• Each database is allocated the region closest to most of its users.
• If you are far away from the region, you may experience a delay in accessing the database. For example, if your server is hosted in Thailand and you take a business trip to the USA, you can still access the database, but you might experience a lag.

Scale#

• Server sizes scale according to requirements on AWS, starting with micro servers.
• Because we use AWS, there is no limit on how large our business or yours can grow in terms of server requirements.
• Resource usage (CPU, memory, storage) is monitored to trigger scaling when needed.

Backups and Security#

• Security features are provided by AWS.
• Backups are automated and stored on a different server.
