Programme background

In the rapid development of Internet information today, the development of IDC industry is more and more, so more people urgently need a simple and easy IDC solution. In order to solve this one IDC industry general concern problem, we launch this solution for reference.

Overall goal

Build a fully operational, simple implementation, easy to maintain and safe and stable host operation platform.

Demand analysis

1. Infrastructure

Because this scenario is a solution to the host operating platform, we need one or more physical servers on the infrastructure. The configuration of the physical server is not rigidly required and can be selected on demand, but it can be guaranteed to achieve the most basic operational requirements.

2, system requirements

(1) Operating system

After the infrastructure is complete, the first thing to consider is the operating system. Installing the operating system is the foundation for building a software platform. Now domestic server most commonly used operating system has Windows and Linux two kinds. Each of these two operating systems has advantages, and we need to choose an operating system that is designed to fit the solution as a whole.

(2) Virtual host Control Panel

Only through the virtual host Control Panel, we can more easily and quickly set the server parameters, Management Server and maintenance server.

3, functional requirements

Host operating platform is the most concerned about the "operation" of the word, so the host financial software is also indispensable. Only through the mainframe financial software, the host business can be easily operated.

4. Safety Requirements

(1) Data backup

Whether it's personal computer information or data from a large server, secure backups are important. Information, data has undoubtedly become an important enterprise assets, data loss can sometimes lead to very serious and unrecoverable consequences, so for a safe and reliable host operating platform, must do a good job of data backup.

(2) Real-time monitoring

The stability of the server can also seriously affect the overall performance and quality of the host operating platform. Real-time monitoring server, and in the shortest possible time to resolve all the unstable factors on the server, to ensure the stability of the server, so as to ensure the entire host operating platform for good operation.

Overall design

1. Basic Framework Implementation

(1) Operating system: Linux

Linux is one of the most common operating systems in the host industry, and although it is an Open-source operating system, Linux performance is superior in many respects to the windowns operating system. Linux is the earliest development of the operating system for the network server, and its security stability is relatively high, which we choose Linux as the host operation platform operating system.

(2) Virtual host Control Panel: Chanel

Chanel is an internationally renowned virtual host management system applied to Linux operating systems. The Chanel panel overcomes the disadvantages of not being good enough for the Linux operating system interface and provides a very friendly interface. At the same time Chanel provides a powerful function. Through a simple graphical interface we can easily manage our servers and the various websites on the server.

(3) Operating system upgrade: Cloudlinux

After determining the Chanel virtual host Control Panel, we decided to use the Cloudlinux operating system to achieve better architectural implementation.

Cloudlinux is a CentOS based Linux distribution, primarily for virtual host and data Center service-specific operating systems. Cloudlinux Original lightweight Virtual Environnement technology makes the server administrator and user is isolated, thus can distribute user resources evenly, ensure the fair use of resources, through the monitoring of resources so that the server's resources can be more reasonable to be used , but also can effectively improve the security and stability of the server. Cloudlinux and Chanel can be perfectly integrated. After the integration, in the Chanel panel can be more convenient for cloudlinux to view and set up operations.

(4) Host financial software: WHMCS

Whmcs is an online trading software that integrates customer management, finance and help systems. Host business can easily achieve customer information management, Help system Management, customer order management, customer host and domain name and other products management in Whmcs.

WHMCS supports today's most popular host control panels such as Chanel and Plesk, and it also supports multiple languages, including PayPal, Alipay, 2CO, and many other payment gateways. Whmcs is the world's most widely used host financial system, in the WHMCS can achieve user subscription, host automatic opening, circulation billing, customer management functions.

Whmcs can and Chanel can be seamless integration, integration in WHMCS can be implemented to facilitate the search Chanel user information, users can automatically/manually create Chanel virtual Host account, change user server, delete user accounts, merge user accounts, modify user host billing cycle, etc. For providers Chanel Server management, WHMCS is a rare and good helper. WHMCS also can integrate domain Name system, so as to achieve customer orders after the automatic registration of domain names and renewals and other functions.

2. Security system Implementation

(1) Backup system: R1Soft

R1Soft is the host industry Low-cost Professional backup solution, R1Soft features a short backup interval, fast, small load and so on. In the same kind of professional backup software, R1Soft is the most cost-effective software. R1Soft can back up the MSSQL database, MySQL database, and can also achieve the recovery of a single table in MySQL. R1Soft supports mainstream virtualization technologies, including KVM Xen Hyper-V VMWare Virtuozzo, and it can also be used for backup of cloud computing systems.

R1Soft Enterprise Edition supports unified backup management for multiple servers. In unified backup management, you can set up a server-side servers to perform a unified backup operation with multiple agent servers through the server server with multiple agent servers. For the host business, such backups are very convenient and very efficient.

(2) Monitoring system: Nagios

Nagios is open source network monitoring software, it can effectively monitor the state of the server. Nagios monitoring network services have SMTP, POP3, HTTP, NNTP, ping, etc., but also can monitor host resources, so that administrators can effectively handle the server load is too high. The Nagios Web interface can be used to view current network status and fault history.

Solution Summary

Linux Virtual Host: Cloudlinux+cpanel

Mainframe Finance Software: WHMCS

Backup system: R1Soft

Monitoring system: Nagios

Through the introduction of the above solution, we can now build a simple host operation platform. Of course, the scheme is a relatively simple solution, for users with more other needs can add the appropriate equipment or software on the basis of the program, so as to establish a host operating platform to meet their own needs.
