Odoo Hosting
The glo team are specialists in all aspects of
business IT solutions from cyber security,
networking infrastructures to cloud-based
hosting and remote access support.
We've turned our IT background into a
strength in the Odoo world.
We’ll host your Odoo instance with the same security, protection and care that we give our own Odoo instance. We’ll also reduce the time and costs involved in developing, maintaining, and updating it.
Many Odoo partners will only support Odoo.sh. We don't.
As great as Odoo.sh is, there's many things you'll find that once you get to a certain size, Odoo.sh won't accomodate. Our hosting is bespoke, managed and monitored. If you need a site-to-site VPNs, ODBC access, SFTP or FTP servers for EDI integration, or just peace of mind, then we can help.
- All of our hosted production installs run a dedicated highly available PostgreSQL (that's the database that powers Odoo) just for your install, by default. That's just the way that it should be.
- We run Odoo on a highly available cluster with monitoring, powered by Kubernetes.
- We are truly paranoid about backups (continuous PostgreSQL backups, multiple snapshots per day) - and we are happy to ship you a copy of your backups for you to store.
- We are happy to accomodate almost any need you might have.
- We're also happy to support older versions of Odoo that Odoo.sh cannot.
- We offer both shared and dedicated options and are competitive with Odoo.sh pricing.
- We use our extensive knowledge and experience in the IT world and bring it to running your Odoo installation.
Backups
We take 2 forms of backup as standard as part of hosting your production copy of Odoo. Both forms are kept for 14 days by default. One is "continuous" and another is 3x a day.
All backups are stored off-site and encrypted, and replicated to multiple physical locations.
We will be likely changing the backup destination to another land mass in the near future.
If you have special requirements we can happily change this (for example we have some customers who also want weekly, monthly and yearly kept for 2 years - however there is additional cost for that storage. We also have another customer where we export a backup daily for them to manage and retain).
To explain in a bit more detail about the 2 different types of backups and why (feel free to skip this). Just in case you are not aware, Odoo keeps its data in 2 places: a database and something called the filestore.
- 3x a day full snapshots of both the database and filestore. These are kept for 14 days.
- Additionally, we also have something called "WAL" archiving for the database only. Think of this as effectively a form of continuous backup for the database. These allow us to do what is called a Point in Time Restore for the entire database (i.e. say 10:04pm Tuesday).
In addition to the WAL archiving, all production installs hosted with us, now have a minimum of 2 running copies of the database, should one database server become damaged the secondary will automatically take over. Each copy is always running on a different virtual machine. We actually use this process during security patching to ensure that you don't have downtime.
