Renting a server for 1C

If you need stable, fast and scalable 1C operation without buying hardware, a 1C server in cloud storage solves the problem faster and cheaper than your own server.

What is cloud rental for 1C and who needs it?

A cloud for 1C is dedicated resources in a data center optimized for 1C, with Internet access.

Rent is fine:

  • companies from 5 to 500+ 1C users;
  • businesses with remote employees;
  • for those who are tired of "brakes", failures and lack of IT reserve;
  • for those who do not want to buy a server, Windows and SQL licenses at once.

Basic configuration of the cloud server

1C is critical to CPU and disks, not "beautiful numbers".

Basic parameters

ComponentWhat is important in practice
CPUHigh frequency, not "many cores"
RAMWith a reserve for the SQL cache
DisksSSD/NVMe, IOPS is more important than volume
ОSWindows Server + MSSQL or Linux + PostgreSQL

Typical options:

  • Windows Server + MS SQL — a classic for loaded bases
  • Linux + PostgreSQL — for savings and new implementations

Balanced architecture for 1C in the Cloud

We are designing the infrastructure so that:

  • SQL didn't hit the disk;
  • The server was not competing for the CPU;
  • backups did not slow down users;
  • user growth did not require a "move".

A cluster is used if necessary.:

  • a separate file server for SQL;
  • scaling for users;
  • fault tolerance.

Why is 1C Cloud better than its hardware

There are fewer risks, faster launch, and predictable costs.

Migration to the cloud

We:

  • Analyzing the databases and the load
  • Selecting the configuration
  • Transferring data
  • Testing the performance
  • Switching users with minimal downtime

Performance and control

Available in the cloud:

  • 24/7 equipment monitoring;
  • performance analysis for 1C;
  • CPU, RAM, and disk load monitoring;
  • recommendations for optimization.

Case study: transferring 1C from the office to the ReadyVPS cloud

Task:

A company with a distributed team faced regular software brakes, failures at the end of the month, and a lack of backup.

Initial data:
  • Industry: wholesale trade
  • Region: Kazakhstan
  • 1C users: 38 people
  • Configurations: Accounting + Management
  • Database: ~120 GB
Infrastructure before the move:
  • office file server under the desk
  • Windows Server + MSSQL
  • SSD drives
  • backups "whenever possible"
The main problems:
  • The program "hung up" when users were working at the same time.
  • Closing the month took hours
  • if the hardware fails, the entire office is down.
  • remote work via VPN was unstable
What was done:
  • The solution was implemented in 1 business day.
  • The configuration for real load is selected.
  • The configuration is deployed in the ReadyVPS cloud.
The architecture is configured:
  • separate hardware for SQL
  • SSD storage
  • Database migration completed at night
  • Backups are configured for monitoring
  • Users have been transferred to work through RDP
The final configuration:

CPU8 vCPU (high frequency)
RAM32 GB
DisksSSD
ОSWindows Server
DBMSSQL Server
BackupDaily
The result after the move:
  • The software system started working as expected.
  • interface performance acceleration by 30-40%
  • closing the month without freezes
  • stable operation for 40+ users at the same time
  • access to the program from anywhere
  • the data is protected and backed up automatically
90% of the problems are not related to the system itself, but to:
  • incorrect configuration selection.
  • slow disks.
  • lack of backup options.
  • office infrastructure that is not designed for growth.
  • 1C in the cloud solves these tasks faster and cheaper than constant attempts to "fix an old fileserver."

Result

Renting a 1C site in ReadyVPS means a quick launch, stable operation and no headaches with the infrastructure.
