Cloud eTendering
Cloud eTendering is a model applied by Vortal to create a perfect market for electronic public contracting. Public entities, companies and suppliers interact in the ‘cloud’ giving rise to a large market that gives access to great benefits.
The ‘cloud computing’ model offers a more flexible system of contracts:
• Without software, hardware or installation
• Securer, more economical, easy to maintain
By using any device with Internet access you can enter a site or server which is automatically linked to a ‘virtual computer’ from which you will have access to all the applications and contents necessary to carry out the procedure rapidly and securely while making administrative and time savings, enabling the automation of purchasing processes.
Vortal’s technological architecture was designed with perspectives for strong growth in mind, namely in terms of internationalization, the growth of new markets, new services and security. We highlight here the main attributes of technological architecture:
Technological architecture and development: Platform developed using the very latest technology, with an architecture orientated toward services (Service Orientated Architecture - SOA), which provides a high degree of productivity, performance and scalability;
• Performance and Availability, through maintenance of clustering capacities, fail-over, fault tolerance, load balancing and monitoring, maintaining the level of platform availability above 99.5%;
• Maximum robustness of our technology, ensured by a highly available datacentre (1000 transactions per second and 1 terabyte of allocated space) and by a datacentre for disaster recovery located 300 km away;
• Scalability, vertical and horizontal, enabling the same level of high quality service to always be maintained for our clients;
• Operability, capacity for real-time maintenance (backup, monitoring, application patches, among others) without service interruptions;
