Rely on Liferay to digitally transform your business portal

Get the most out of your Liferay portal

Liferay can be applied for many purposes and in many ways. No business is the same and this influences the requirements for your environment’s setup, configuration, performance and support services. 

Our predefined hosting configuration modules are suitable for most situations. Special configuration requirements include the use of different technologies, clustered setups or 3rd party integrations.

Customisations are also possible in resource sizes, like storage, traffic and domains. Next, we have several Service Level Agreements to suit your needs for response and uptime. We offer additional monitoring and statistics on request.

Full lifecycle service for long term high performance

Our hosting services cover everything necessary to keep your Liferay Portal running for the full lifecycle of your application. At the start, our experts work with you to design a cost-effective hosting setup that best fits your needs and budget.

During development, we assist developers with release deployments, a DTAP street and continuous integration. We support lasting applications with performance tuning, vertical or horizontal scaling and upgrades.

Security and Support by Liferay experts

By hardening our systems continuously we make sure your application is safe. Our support team of experts is standing by 24×7 to monitor your application and help you with your Liferay Portal.

Firelay’s services consist of fully firewalled ISO27001 certified infrastructure in Europe and not subject to the Patriot Act. If needed, we customize access using IP restrictions or firewalling specific ports.

Securing your application and data is of the highest importance to us. We keep backups with 2 months retention or more including off-site backup. Updates for the full Liferay software stack to minimize vulnerabilities are performed regularly and security patches are applied immediately upon release.

Monitoring, follow-up, and support

Online business happens 24x7x365 and worldwide meaning your application does not stick to any 9 to 5 schedule. So we don’t either. 1000s of monitoring checks are performed on all levels of the software application stack including 3rd party services every 5 minutes. On every bleep our team follows up immediately.

You can always call or email our Support Desk to get help from our team of Liferay and hosting experts with up to same business day response even on non-critical issues.

On-premise or in the Private Cloud

Combine our services with the infrastructure of your choosing, as long as we can maintain a secure connection we manage your Liferay hosting configuration. In the same manner, we integrate with 3rd party systems and connections.

We provide our tailored Liferay hosting services with or without the bare metal, on any infrastructure provider. With our On-Premises solution, you use your own infrastructure or choose the datacentre that best meets your needs.

With a secure connection the On-Premises solution includes all the Firelay Enterprise hosting services:

• Customized setup with full life-cycle performance
• Securing your systems with 24×7 monitoring and support
• High-performance clusters and automated release deployments

Customise your Liferay 

Liferay comes with a lot of out-of-the-box functionality, but that might not be enough for your situation. In customizing your portal application implementation with plugins, we support developers in optimizing performance for demanding services by testing, monitoring and tuning.

We include monitoring on integration connections with 3rd party systems or back-end systems (e.g. Solr). We provide a Liferay Single Sign-on for easy usage for your end-users.

Eliminate single points of failure

To eliminate single points of failure, we cluster your Liferay setup according to your specific needs for high availability and data reliability. With continuous integrations, a DTAP street and automation, we can detect failures early, making production deployments predictable and with limited or no downtime.

For high availability and high volume portals, we provide custom clustered solutions. Redundant database clustering with multi-master replication with Percona (MySQL) ensures your data is always available and safe. Clustering the application layer with Liferay Portal and Tomcat including load balancing guarantees uptime.

We combine clustering with caching to optimize performance and handle 10.000’s of concurrent users and requests. If necessary we scale up temporarily if you expect high traffic or peak loads.

Continuous Integration using Jenkins

Deploying new code releases cause no or hardly any downtime. By separating code and configuration we standardize releases. Using Puppet for server and application configuration, we automate release deployments.

We believe in the ‘test early, test often’ principle and empower development teams by providing Continuous Integration using Jenkins to build and test code automatically. Combined with a DTAP infrastructure where all environments have equal configurations, CI reduces the risk of issues in live environments.

We have experience with the same tools as your developers, like GIT, SVN, Maven, Ant, Nexus and more. To ensure reliable deployments and smoothly running portals close cooperation with developers is essential.
