dotCMS for DevOps & IT
The most secure and scalable CMS for DevOps and IT
With dotCMS Cloud, we take care of infrastructure so you can focus on innovation. Compared to self-hosting or 3rd-party managed hosting, dotCMS Cloud provides a lower total cost of ownership, resulting in a greater return on your digital investment.
Why dotCMS
With lots of CMSs on the market, what are some of the features that set dotCMS apart for Devops Engineers?
Save Time and Money
When you let dotCMS manage your infrastructure, you benefit from the luxury of freeing up staff for strategic initiatives, saving you significant costs. With optimized cloud architecture, you can achieve quick onboarding and scalability to meet demanding site delivery needs. Our extensive experience enables us to provide better insights into public cloud environments, offering a range of options at competitive prices.
Improved Security and Compliance
dotCMS is SOC2 (Type II) and ISO 27001 certified for dotCMS Cloud.
This 3rd-party certifications guarantees that we have effectively mitigated risks related to our customers’ security, availability, and confidentiality. Since dotCMS Cloud is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering, all customers have dedicated virtual private clouds (VPCs) and a dedicated database: none of the dotCMS Cloud customers are sharing databases or any other cloud resources.
Flexible Deployment Options
Hosting on dotCMS Cloud is the go-to method for most customers. It's SOC2 and ISO 27001 compliant, fully managed by dotCMS with 24/7 monitoring, upgrades, and security fixes. However, for organizations that need to have more control over their environment or have strict data privacy requirements, you can host dotCMS in your own private cloud infrastructure, while still fully managed by dotCMS engineers.
Enhanced Agility and Performance
Built on Amazon AWS, dotCMS Cloud benefits from its best-in-class cloud infrastructure, with a dedicated cloud team that constantly monitors and improves the platform to ensure high performance. With data centers around the world, dotCMS Cloud is always close to your customers and you decide where your data is stored.
Through dotCMS, you can monitor your dotCMS Cloud stacks, manage deployments through Push Publishing and OSGi, and make backups or access log files. Our forthcoming Cloud Control app will further enable self-services such as ad-hoc back-ups & restores, spinning up new environments, and many more.
Optimized Content Delivery
With an enterprise-grade CDN, DevOps Engineers can achieve maximum content performance by delivering instant access to users. Global coverage minimizes the distance data needs to travel, resulting in quicker loading times and improved website performance for users.
Utilizing dotCMS’s enterprise-grade infrastructure and caching, DevOps Engineers can ensure that their content is readily available for users to experience. Our capabilities allow for quick content delivery and multiple deployment options, anywhere in the world, getting your message in front of your target audience faster and more efficiently.
Our resilient infrastructure ensures all your business-critical applications run containerized with continuous support and up to 99.98% uptime.
Seamless Upgrades and Scalability
Don’t be afraid to think ahead. dotCMS provides you with the necessary tools to achieve growth and scale at a healthy rate.
Waiting for the latest upgrades and tech isn’t a thing with dotCMS. We ensure your software is continuously updated and secure with seamless core upgrades and automated roll-out of security fixes as soon as they become available.
No dotCMS Cloud customers are sharing databases or any other cloud resources. Our customers have the luxury of having dedicated VPCs and a dedicated database.
