Our Common Processing Solutions

e-commerce-inc.com has been on the leading edge of creat card processing solutions since 1997. As one of the oldest companies providing secure credit card processing, we are also one of the most experienced.

With our extensive experience we have learned how to reach the highest levels of security and meet the demands of high volume e-tailers. While our early models struggled to process a few hundred transactions an hour per server, our technology has advanced to more efficient and more secure systems capable of millions of daily transactions on single dedicated servers.

The real bottleneck is the hadware and network limitations and therefore we offer several levels of software capabilities to accomodate price and budget reqirements of companies as well as offering that software on several levels of hardware.

The best solution for your hosting business or corporate application will vary based on sales volumes. Since most hosting companies gennerly only have a small percentage of their clients using e-commerce applications, the most popular plan is our pasic Tier #1 Plan which is scalable by assigning accounts to added servers.

The Tire #1 Plan is not a computing custer but rather a ladder type stacking process of inexpensive basic single processors with up to 4 internal cores. Using SATA drives with RAID 1+0 allows full drive redundancy and cheap drive space to allow extensive databasing sales invoices.

By adding additional servers the capacity is increased. It will be up the to hosting company to assign accounts and load balance the servers to prevent traffic jams at the procesing gateway.

In general processing is not one of the resource intensive applications since web pages on e-commerce sites are served at a ratio of 500 pages to every sale. The overview assumes that for every 500 servers you only need one secure processing server. That assumes that you have 100% e-commerce sites while the industry standard is closer to 10% which with equate to 1 secure server for each 5000 servers in most cases. Therefore the Tier #1 Plan is suitable for most small website hosting companies an will be added to slowly as demand grows.

The Tier #2 Plan is for larger e-commerce sites with millions of daily sales. Generally larger more powerful and consequently more expensive servers are used with heavy redundancy. The basic level starts with 2 servers each using quad processors with up to 4 cores each. RAID 5 SAS Drives up to 30 in external arrays and up to several Terabytes of space.

Full fail over redundancy in 2 seperate data centers. Each server is a full duplicate of the other running from a remote location and providing 100% availability even in natural disasters, floods, line failures or acts of terrorism. By seperating servers by hundreds of miles your data is even safe and operational if one data center is leveled by a tornado or gets hit by a meteor. If you depend on your data and your website this type of solution is the only solution you should consider.

The Tier #3 Plan uses the same hardware as the Tier #2 Plan, but it uses more of it. Clustering the servers into a computing cluster and opening the door for unlimited silumtaneous transactions while providing georedundant backups and failover servers.

The Tier #3 Plan uses different software than the Tire #2 Plan. While it can be operated with only 2 servers, it does allow for seemingly unlimited scaling. While the Tier #2 Plan does not allow for any growth.

Each solution can be customized to meet the demands of the client, integrated into shopping systems and bandwidth plans. Because of the large scale of the products users it is unlikely that any system will be like any other.

Our specialty is creating customized solutions for each business. With no two business models the same, there are no two processing solutions that are the same. It is that flexibility that makes e-commerce-inc.com the number 1 processing solution in todays internet.
