Caspio is Built on Microsoft SQL Server, Runs on AWS

When it comes to your applications and data, nothing is more important than security, reliability and performance.

Caspio utilizes leading technologies and infrastructure, offering customers the peace of mind they deserve and confidence in the quality of our services. We adhere to stringent standards and comply with global regulations to deliver a reliable and secure platform for customers to build their applications.

Not only does Caspio use top-tier technologies such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft’s SQL Server, but our team is also an expert at leveraging them properly. Caspio is a Microsoft Gold partner and AWS Advanced Technology partner, demonstrating the highest level of competency in the respective technologies.

In this article, we will look at the advantages of using Microsoft SQL Server and AWS as important pieces of Caspio’s infrastructure, and how you can reap these benefits for your business.

Why Having Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure Matters

A solid infrastructure fortifies operations and reduces potential downtimes. Ultimately, it positions our customers to meet present demands and be agile enough to adapt to future challenges and opportunities.

There are clear advantages that can be gained from a sound infrastructure.

Scalability

Caspio can accommodate millions of records and thousands of simultaneous transactions on each account as well as unlimited users. However, you only need to pay for scale when you need it. And since it’s always available, you can scale your solutions up or down anytime to meet your changing needs, giving you the advantage of starting small knowing you can grow exactly when needed. This keeps your operational expenses to  minimum without sacrificing your options.

Reliability

Caspio provides unparalleled performance and reliability, maintaining high levels of uptime and availability. This stems from utilizing highly resilient infrastructure that’s programmed to self-heal and recover when needed. As a whole, Caspio’s infrastructure is auto-scaled during periods of high usage and is entirely transparent to customers.

Our reliability also comes from redundancies in almost all layers of the system, including firewalls, load balancers, application servers and databases and more. As such, a failure of one component will not bring down the entire system.

Reliability is also built into our processes, such as how we manage system upgrades and product releases to eliminate or minimize downtimes. Finally, we maintain a disaster recovery plan at all times to bring systems back up at an alternate location if needed.

Security

At Caspio, everything we create or use undergoes rigorous security reviews. And while it’s not possible to credit the infrastructure for all of our security capabilities, there is no dispute that they contribute greatly.

Amazon Web Services are the leading cloud infrastructure in the world, trusted by established companies and government entities.  Both Caspio and AWS data centers are SOC 2 compliant. Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), Service Organization Control Type 2 (SOC 2) is a cybersecurity compliance framework that ensures that third-party service providers store and process client data securely. These same security capabilities are protecting your Caspio applications.

Likewise, Microsoft SQL Server also provides outstanding security capabilities not available in many other database systems.

For its part, Caspio has created its own layers of security measures, ranging from those that are transparently part of our operations to those that customers can choose to incorporate into their applications. The former includes encryption at rest and in transit while the latter includes our proprietary authentication system and new Directory service, record-level security and IP blocking.

The human element is also worth mentioning. As a rule, no one at Caspio has access to backend systems unless their job requires it, and only to such extent. Furthermore, we have stringent internal processes and policies to ensure that every Caspio representative who can be given access to backend systems are regularly trained and fully verified.

The end result of these choices, technologies and policies is a secure platform that delivers peace of mind to our customers.

Cost-Effective, Enterprise-Grade

By using leading technologies, Caspio becomes an enterprise-grade platform capable of fulfilling even the most stringent customer requirements. Fortunately, you don’t need an enterprise-sized budget to use Caspio.

Offered in a multi-tenant fashion, Caspio is highly cost-effective and gives you the best way to use an enterprise-grade platform on a small budget. With Caspio, you can rest easy knowing you have the choice to scale your operations without having to change anything about your apps.
