Hydroflux: Delivering a comprehensive LAMP hosting environment to launch into a global market
The brief
Hydroflux approached COG Digital with a simple brief – design develop and host our eight WordPress Websites.
Sounded like a simple brief, though if you’ve ever worked with engineers you’ll know that simple to an engineer is complex for everyone else. The task for COG Digital was to develop a strategic and unified tech stack to launch and manage the website ecosystem for the Hydroflux business, and have to reach their global water management market.
A core component to the brief was to ensure security, uptime and redundancy backups, plus staging environments to ensure offline developments could continue while a BAU position could be maintained by The Hydroflux Group.
With a aggressive growth strategy, and a large number of Hydroflux team members being technical the level of support needed to be high to meet the demands and traffic volumes expected.
The client
The Hydroflux Group consists of eight specialist water and wastewater treatment companies. These integrated businesses undertake design and construction projects, and provide aftermarket services to the municipal, mining and industrial sectors.
The Hydroflux Group is made up of established privately, owned Australian business dedicated to all aspects of water and wastewater treatment management systems. They service Australia via offices in Sydney and Melbourne, the Pacific region via their Fijian office and Europe via their established UK business.
Their extensive experience along with the product range and services they can offer to their customers covers all the requirements for design or provision of solutions, equipment and services within the industrial and municipal treatment sectors.
The solution
Our Sydney Digital Agency delivered a comprehensive LAMP hosting environment that enabled the Hydroflux group of companies to launch into a global market.
WordPress is used by 63.4% of all the websites whose content management system is known in the world. This makes it easy to use but also easy to exploit and easy to break. Also part of the hosting provisions was ensure the custom theme was supported with updates and also the third party plugins that provided functionality to the WordPress ecosystem were supported and updated via a regular maintenance program.
The brief allowed our development team to deliver against our service suite that included the below products and services:
