SQL Server database supported and custom application hosting for websites with access from NHSnet/N3
The Application package is designed for situations where you have more complex applications to be managed. It provides availability of Microsoft® SQL Server to provide a robust and scalable architecture for on-line applications. Our application package is ideal if:
-
You need to deploy web applications to NHSnet based users, but manage them over the internet
-
You are an NHS organisation that needs to share data with other agencies, such as social services
-
You need to collect data from patients or members of the public
-
You need to provide access to you data or application for remote workers who don't have NHSnet access
-
You are working with pharmacists, GP's, dentists or ophthalmologists who don't currently have NHSnet access
You can develop your applications in-house and deploy them simply to our hosting environment. In most cases multiple applications can be run within the same package, subject to the space limitations (extendable with our additional storage options) and a maximum processor usage of 6% per package.
We take care of the infrastructure and the OS, you manage you application, uploading updates, data etc via http, https or ftp. More extensive application/system access can be arranged by discussion with us.
We can also provide help with your application design, security and performance if requires, including remote access and RSA hard token services.
