Scaling

Independence of resources
Data transfer and bandwidth resource is minimal, however reporting and data exports may be resource intensive.

Each instance runs on its own app pool and database, and if required, reporting functionality can be moved to a separate reporting site instance to ensure day to day user activity is not affected.

We provide cloud infrastructure with enough headroom to accommodate the numbers of potential users on our services. These resources are regularly reviewed, monitored for performance, and upgraded if necessary.
