The agency offers a wide range of services: website creation, intranet, extranet, web media campaigns, blogs, chatbots, personalized video, social networking and web application development.

Assignment needs
NFrance and Webqam have been working closely together for over 10 years. The digital agency uses a cluster architecture with several dedicated physical servers.
In order to maintain the various PHP versions of all the websites produced by the agency, Webqam wanted to set up a new, even more powerful, flexible and scalable platform.The infrastructure had to meet software base compatibility requirements while offering optimum quality of service.
" This hosting project had to meet the agency's new growth challenges. "
NFrance is always a pleasure to work with. We appreciate their availability, responsiveness and flexibility in meeting our specific needs.

The project
NFrance has set up a new virtualized platformcapable of meeting Webqam's new requirements in terms of flexibility, scalability, performance and quality of service.
Simple, rapid deployment of dedicated virtual servers scaled to service continuity for virtual machines: if a hypervisor is unavailable, virtual machines are automatically restarted on another hypervisor, high availability thanks to a clustered cloud architecture.
The human dimension of support is one of the main reasons for our satisfaction. It's great to be able to talk to the same people who know our infrastructure inside out.

Since its commissioning, the new platform has achieved an excellent availability rate of 100%.
