Hosting of Websites/Web application Procedure :
About the Service :
As per the policy decision, all the departments are required to host their Websites/Portals/Applications at State Data Center only. The State Data Center is equipped with state of the art facilities for hosting websites/web-based applications/portals. Following options are available to host at State Data Center –

On a shared basis :
The departments may deploy their websites using existing infrastructure available at SDC in terms of servers, system software etc. The list of IT infrastructure presently available at SDC for this purpose is annexed at Annexure 2.1. To avoid any delay on account of procurement of additional hardware/software, the departments are advised to develop their websites/applications/portal in such a manner that the existing infrastructure available at SDC can be utilized for hosting purpose.

Dedicated Infrastructure :
The Departments may be allowed to install their dedicated servers and software at SDC for hosting their web sites. In such case, departments would be required to procure and install the required hardware/software at State Data Center. Facility Management Service will be provided by the SDC operator. It should be noted that the procured servers should be Rack mountable only. DoIT&C should be consulted before finalising the technical specifications.

Service deployment Architecture :
The picture below depicts a typical 2-tier architecture i.e. having militarized zone & demilitarized zone. Firewalls are placed between every two tiers to enable network perimeter security.

Internet Zone :
In this zone, the Internet leased line is terminated. The users come through the internet cloud in this zone to access the web sites hosted at SDC.

Demilitarized Zone :
In this zone, all the web servers, applications servers and DNS servers are installed at State Data Center. A firewall is installed between the Internet Zone and demilitarized zone to protect the web/application servers from any security threats through Internet Zone.

Militarized Zone :
The Militarized Zone of State Data Center consists of two segments i.e. Database Server Zone and LAN/WAN User zone. Both the Segments are isolated from each other through a Firewall to protect the Database Servers from any security threats from LAN/WAN users. To protect the Militarized zone from any external threats from the Internet Zone, the Militarized Zone is also separated from Demilitarized zone through a Firewall. No access is provided to the militarized zone except from Network operation center (NoC).
