NaviCloud: from Richardson Eyres
NaviCloud is a next-generation, cloud computing platform that sets the standard for enterprise-class infrastructure and application performance. A robust, virtualized infrastructure deployed as multiple, secure infrastructure clouds in NaviSite’s data centers, NaviCloud serves as the underlying platform for all of NaviSite’s infrastructure, hardware, and application service offerings.
NaviCloud is built on a state-of-the-art enterprise-class infrastructure and includes the building blocks of a system infrastructure service, including virtualized servers; Windows and Linux operating systems; storage; networking; firewalls; and load balancers.

Fully Integrated Business Continuity
The infrastructure is configured for high availability – two fabric interconnects are connected as cluster peers, allowing both an active and standby instance of the system manager to run on the fabric interconnects. If the primary instance fails, the standby instance assumes the role of primary instance. Disaster recovery is also integral to NaviCloud. With a state of the art operations center and a highly-resilient service delivery infrastructure spanning multiple data centers, NaviCloud minimizes the risk of downtime.
High-Speed, Scalable Architecture
NaviCloud-enabled data centers are interconnected by dedicated 10 Gbps Ethernet links, minimizing network-oriented bottlenecks. High-speed connections to physical servers hosted in data centers, coupled with load balancing technology, ensure that complex applications scale to meet business demands. Load balancing options include low-cost shared solutions to support smaller environments, and multiple virtual load balancers – deployed and managed from within the cloud portal – to support more complex environments.
Highly Secure
NaviCloud employs a multi-pronged approach to ensuring and enforcing the security, privacy, and integrity of enterprise applications and data. NaviCloud data centers are compliant with SAS 70 Type II requirements for physical and logical security. In addition, NaviCloud provides all of the security measures associated with traditional hosting environments, including:
- Two-Factor Authentication
- File Integrity Services
- Network Intrusion Detection and Prevention
- Log Aggregation and Correlation
- Automated Vulnerability Scans
- Third Party Penetration Testing
Above: NaviCloud’s multi-pronged approach to security
NaviCloud is compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), ensuring the privacy of customer data. Customer traffic is carried on secure VLANs, and must pass through a firewall to access other cloud VLANs or physical networks. NaviCloud’s advanced firewall technology also provides intelligent threat defense with advanced capabilities, including identity-based access control and denial of service (DoS) attack protection.
Security also extends to the management interface. Role-based access control ensures that users have only the permissions required for their business or support roles. Permissions can also be set on objects or groups managed by NaviSite. All activity is logged for auditing purposes.
