||

Modern Web Hosting Scenarios

Characteristics Small number of apps per tenant Highly customizable Enterprise applications (e.g.

SharePoint)

Enterprise Web Hosting

A dedicated infrastructure to optimize performance for a single enterprise

tenant

Shared Web Cloud Hosting

A PaaS infrastructure to optimize resource utilization for multiple tenants

Characteristics Highly shared / multi-tenant Dev/ops optimization Simple self-service deployment / scale

||

Just the facts

6

CPU throttling helps ensure that no single

web application affects the performance of

others

Application Initialization improves user experience

of first requests

Dynamic FTP and IP restrictions set policies to block unwanted access

Server Name Indication (SNI)

allows high-density sites that are more

secure

Non-Uniform Memory

Architecture (NUMA) for

hardware with complex

specifications

Centralized SSL store

dynamically maps sites to certificates

High-performance web applications

• Prevents one tenant’s application from monopolizing CPU resources

• Reduces vulnerability to attack

• Helps to manage the end-user experience when the site starts loading

• Protects servers from denial of service attacks

attempts

||

Benefits• Prevents one tenant’s application

from monopolizing CPU resources

• Sets maximum CPU consumption per application pool

• Sandboxing process controls resource consumption per site

• By defining different-sized sandboxes for different tenants, hosters can create additional business opportunities based on resource consumption

Monopolizing CPU cycles

Application pool

||

User requests ASP.NET application

Application loads drivers, models,

libraries, and helpers in the

background

Benefits• Helps to manage the end-user

experience when the site starts loading

• Returns static content as a splash page until an application has completed its initialization tasks

• Proactively performs initialization tasks for an application when it starts, to improve performance of first requests

Application Initialization

Dynamic IP restriction is an optional feature that must be explicitly installed using Server

Manager

Benefits• Protects servers from denial of service

attacks

• Filters and blocks IP address dynamically

• Specifies action when Internet Information Services blocks requests

• With Logging Only Mode, helps to determine potential impact for legitimate users

• Rules can be configured as static or dynamic

Dynamic IP Restrictions

12

You can configure dynamic IP restrictions to help reduce the impact of a denial of

service attack

||

Benefits• Reduces vulnerability to attack

• Dynamically limits the number of logon attempts

• Server blocks access from malicious users

• Log files track suspicious logon attempts

Restriction of FTP logon attempts

13

FTP network security can be configured to help reducethe impact of a denial of service attack

“Web hosting certificate store” can contain thousands of SSL certificates

Multiple websites hosted on a single web server

Hosting-friendlyweb sever platform

||

Non-Uniform Memory Architecture• Processors can access local

memory faster than remote memory

• A significant percentage of new servers have NUMA

• Designed for scale-up

NUMA scalability

17

Starts scaling NEGATIVELY when the number of cores increases beyond the point where memory synchronization outweighs the benefits of any additional cores

Previous Internet Information Services versions on NUMA hardware

Internet Information Services on NUMA hardware

Scales POSITIVELY with increasing cores, allowing organizations to benefit from their NUMA hardware investments

||

• Shared SSL certificates are stored centrally

• New servers do not need certificate import

• SSL binding is implied by naming convention

• Only one implicit SSL binding to manage, regardless of number of configured SSL sites

• Certificate is updated by copying and replacing the existing file

Certificate management

Centralized SSL Certificate Support

18

Certificates are stored in a file shareInternet Information Services is

configurable to automatically bind to SSL certificates stored in the shared folder

SSL binding configuration

||

FlexibleSupport for PHP, Node.js, and ASP.NET

Best platformfor .NET

“Just works” with PHP (and Node.js)

Embraces web standards

Innovations with “Dev11” and ASP.NET MVC 4

ASP.NET “webpages” and Razor syntax

WebMatrix provides simple on-ramp and integrates deeply with open source.

First-class support for FastCGI/PHP

Popular open source software apps–WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal, Umbraco and DotNetNuke

Node.js pre-configured
