HOSTFLOW DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

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.

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.
