Ermolai Managed Portals™ (EMP) is a revolutionary solution that lets companies of all sizes dramatically reduce time, effort, and cost associated with development, deployment and maintenance of professional web sites and web portals.

Web sites and portals based on EMP technology are:

Pre-built and pre-designed.  Our professional graphics design team builds key graphic elements, such as header, footer, background colors and images, menu bar, and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) that define text properties.

Web browser editable.  You can edit any and all content of your portal via a standard web browser, from anywhere in the world.  Using the intuitive point-and-click interface, you can add or edit text, insert images, hyperlinks, menu items, manage dynamic content, view user access logs, and much more.  Because interface is entirely web-based, there is no longer a need to upload your files via FTP or worry about firewalls blocking access - only a standard HTTP port 80 is required to perform all editing and management tasks.

Feature-rich.  Not only you can create typical web content such as text, images, hyperlinks, and menus, you can utilize a collection of powerful modules that let you create dynamic portals that only recently used to require thousands of hours of development effort.  For example, you can create full-featured picture gallery, forum, or file repository pages.  You can display custom-formatted database data or allow authenticated web users to update it.  Complete online store modules allow you to set up your web-based sales in just a few hours.

Secure.  Strong authentication and authorization mechanisms help ensure that only authorized users are able to make changes.  At the same time, you can manage access level on individual page or module level.  For example, you can allow one user in your company to make changes only to the "Latest News" page while another individual can be set up to manage only the "Products" page.

Reliable.  Although the underlying architecture is invisible to you, Ermolai Managed Portals are hosted on top-of-the-line hardware located in enterprise-level data centers.  Our multi-processor servers are configured with RAID arrays, redundant power supplies and redundant network interfaces while data centers are equipped with multiple tier-one network connections, uninterruptible power supplies and standby power generators.  Daily back-ups protect against human error.  Our most demanding customers may also select the Active/Active Fail-Over and Remote Hot Standby options to ensure continuous operation even in the unlikely event of the entire data center loss.

Fast.  Not only we use some of the most powerful servers and top-of-the-line network equipment, we have developed proprietary performance monitoring solution that actively and continuously evaluates performance of your portal and notifies operator if response times fall outside of the allowed range (which is aggressively set).  As your user base grows, we will automatically move your web site to more powerful hardware to ensure that it remains super-fast.

Scalable.  With the ability to use up to 10 TB of disk space and up to 8 nodes in a cluster (each node being quad-processor, 4 GB RAM server) we are ready to accommodate even the most demanding customers.
