March of Dimes is the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health. They are dedicated to improving the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature births, and infant mortality. With the help of their researchers, volunteers, educators, and outreach workers, they help give all babies a fighting chance.
The Challenge
March of Dimes required a reliable collocation site in order to provide their e-business with high availability, quick response, and 24/7 support. The ideal partner would be able to learn the infrastructure, systems, and applications in order to help them set up and configure to their new collocated environment. In addition, the system should be capable of load balancing, especially during seasonal promotions where traffic and activity rise. Also, this partner would have needed to help architect the system in order to provide scalability without sacrificing high availability.
Our Solution
Digital Edge became the perfect match for March of Dime’s collocated environment. The system was built incorporating high availability, clustering of network and databases, layered application architecture. Other benefits of the system include high performance email services, content management, donation processing modules, and others. To ensure the systems are ready for seasonal load, Digital Edge provides stress testing services, system administration services, DBA services and ad-hoc programming. Digital Edge provides full coverage to March of Dimes.
