HostFlow Busness
Suite is a business framework of integrated modules providing
the foundation for a fully customizable Service Management,
Order Management, Marketing management, Customer Management,
Financial and System Management solution. The core of the
product is the HostFlow Manager, a structured framework built
around Postgres relational database. The HostFlow Manager
and the HostFlow Agents (Provisioning and Information Collector
Agents) control access to the database and manage communications
with the HostFlow modules. The HostFlow Agents run remote
from the server and provides interfaces to the various network
services; for example, E-mail, Hosting, Mysql, Postrgessql,
MMSsql, Coldfusion, Backup, Statistics for provisioning service
data and collecting usage data.

HostFlow deployment can be done to support very complex hosting requirements. Services can be deported on as many servers as required. We also support replication of servers and services to ensure the most reliable and redundant hosting platform.

Security :
HostFlow ensures data and transaction
security at all levels, including:
- Site performance under site owner (both
Unix and Windows);
- SSL / shared SSL certificate support for
individual domains;
- SSL encryption for the entire control panel.
However, we find it important to emphasize
that the security of the server at the lowest level must be
provided by the system administrator. |
