What things should you consider when picking a location for your data center?
- First, define your target audience. It is important to determine where your end users are located. If you are serving customers across Europe, most likely you need a data centre in or close to Europe to ensure optimal performance and fit GDPR.
- Second, research web hosts before selecting a new service. Most of them include all the necessary information on their websites, but you may also have a good look around.
- And finally, check the data center performance. There are multiple resources for these. Having a clear understanding of data center capabilities will make it easier for you to make up your mind.

4. Data security and HIPAA-compliant encryption
Quickblox offers tools to help you meet national, regional and industry standards for the collection and use of personal data. Security and data protection is no empty boast. And alarming statistics of breaches just proves it. That’s why we take GDPR compliance seriously. And by GDPR compliance we mean protection of any personal data of our customers that we process and manage including names, addresses, ID numbers, as well as web data.
QuickBlox also provides to the companies HIPAA-compliant encryption as requested to protect data of healthcare data solutions across devices, processes, platforms, and environments.
5. Backend clusterization
In the course of work, server failures are inevitable. Even though many components are duplicated (like power supplies or cooling systems), it is impossible to guarantee 100% reliability of equipment. Each failure leads to losses. Risks increase with virtualization. In case of a hardware failure, several virtual servers may crash at once.
To avoid such problems, it is necessary to increase the reliability of equipment by magnitude, while maintaining the high availability of parameters of the terminal server. Since it is impossible to do at the server component level, we decided to introduce server clusterization.
A cluster is a group of servers connected through hardware, networks, and software and work as if they were one single server. The result is a fault-tolerant scheme where the failure of one or more of them does not affect the availability of services. To avoid this kind of issues at QuickBlox, we opted for HA/DR (High Availability and Disaster Recovery) Configuration.
HA/DR Configuration
High Availability is a business solution to ensure its own continuous operation. It allows the system to perform its functions continuously (without interruption) for a long period of time. HA is most often achieved through failure tolerance.
Still, there are failures that could not be prevented through a set of HA measures and, as a result, they slow down or completely terminate all business processes. It is when disaster recovery gets into a game. Disaster recovery involves a set of measures that enable to recover services, functions, and systems in case of an outage or other interruption. QuickBlox disaster recovery solutions typically involve manual activities.
