Bastionhost uses a stable cloud architecture and reliable dual-engine architecture with global deployment capabilities to ensure more stable, secure, and efficient operations and maintenance (O&M) of assets worldwide. This topic describes the benefits of Bastionhost.
Secure and reliable cloud architecture
Bastionhost is built on a cloud architecture and uses an independent deployment mode of servers, independent log repositories, and distributed databases. This achieves physical isolation and resource decoupling of core components, ensuring reliability and risk resistance between system components while improving service quality through modular deployment. Additionally, the system code is commercially encapsulated, hardened, and security-optimized to form a closed protection system that effectively defends against external attack risks and ensures a secure and stable operating environment.
Dual-active engine for seamless disaster recovery
The Enterprise Dual-Engine Edition of Bastionhost uses a dual-active engine deployment with an SLA of up to 99.95%. During normal operation, the system uses intelligent load balancing technology to dynamically allocate business traffic and optimize resource configuration, improving O&M efficiency. When a link anomaly or node failure is detected, the HA (high availability) mechanism immediately initiates a seamless switch to ensure business continuity and monitoring data integrity. The dual-active architecture effectively prevents single points of failure while meeting enterprise requirements for high reliability and stability in different scenarios.
Elastic management of deployment resources
Leveraging the flexibility advantages of cloud-native architecture, Bastionhost provides one-click resource orchestration deployment capabilities, completely eliminating the complexity of physical deployment associated with traditional hardware bastion hosts. Users can instantly activate the service and dynamically configure resource specifications, bandwidth capacity, and storage space as needed, enabling rapid resource scaling and elastic supply during business peak periods. During business off-peak periods, idle resources can be released as needed, effectively reducing O&M costs and maximizing resource utilization.
One-click enablement for ease of use
Through a simple and intuitive operation interface, administrators can complete full-chain management and risk intervention simply by configuring and using features on the web interface. Based on enterprise best practices, the product builds a multi-version hierarchical system (Basic Edition/Enterprise Dual-Engine Edition/National Cryptographic Edition) that flexibly adapts to different business backgrounds. Users can select version architecture and core configuration parameters according to business volume and scenario requirements, achieving precise matching of security policies and cost investment to maximize product efficiency and business value.
Global deployment
Combined with Alibaba Cloud's global data center infrastructure, Bastionhost supports global deployment in multiple regions including Asia Pacific, Americas, Europe, and the Middle East. It has good adaptability outside China, supports pure English interface display, and has accumulated international user scenarios and solutions. At the product feature level, it adapts to cross-border requirement scenarios, is compatible with two-factor authentication for mobile phone numbers from multiple countries outside China, and supports integration with overseas enterprise identity authentication systems. This forms best practices for cross-border access to Bastionhost for O&M operations, ensuring secure O&M of assets globally.
