Windows environment, enterprise-grade Plone
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) launched a Plone-managed website running on Windows servers, integrating with their Active Directory database to manage user accounts and Internet Information Services (IIS) to handle caching and load-balancing via Enfold Proxy. For security, availability and performance, Enfold Systems set up a staging environment for content management inside CDOT’s firewall, with content then published to a production environment outside the firewall. Single points of failure are eliminated by using a Microsoft Cluster Service cluster and configuring Plone to store content in MySQL using dual-master database replication in both staging and production environments.
