CIT Hosting Program

We are proud to introduce Cornell's new Web Hosting Service.

WHY BECOME A HOSTING PARTNER?

Focus your limited time and resources on Application Development instead of infrastructure.

  • Promote a consistent, standardized environment across applications
  • Use the Dev/Test/Prod environments available for most services
  • Negotiate clear expectations about Service Levels
  • Take advantage of existing infrastructure which is reliable, robust and scalable
  • Participate in collaborative user groups/forums that provide avenues for idea exchange and feedback
  • 24/7 monitoring of hardware
  • Automated backups of your files

TRADE-OFFS

  • Because you will be in a shared environment, there are some trade-offs to consider. Some loss of low level/granular control, such as the standard set of tools and software deployed by CIT
  • Follow central upgrade schedule and participate in testing
  • Potential for other applications to affect yours. We make every effort possible to minimize this from occurring.
