Key Aspects of the Solution

- 24/7 Monitoring and Outage Prevention: Bobcares set up continuous monitoring with alerts to detect and address issues in real-time, including high server load and Apache downtime.
- Backup and Recovery: We configured automatic backups to protect data and ensure swift recovery, safeguarding Nexnova’s data and minimizing risks of data loss.
- Resource Optimization: Our team fine-tuned Apache and MariaDB configurations to optimize resource usage, ensuring smooth, efficient performance during peak traffic periods.
