Network Infrastructure and Design

A. Current Network Infrastructure:
    1. Web Hosting: The website is hosted on a cloud-based server to ensure scalability and reliability. Common options include AWS (Amazon Web Services), Google Cloud, or Azure. The choice of cloud services provides flexibility in managing server loads and ensures high availability.
    2. Content Delivery Network (CDN): To enhance performance and reduce latency for users across different geographical locations, a CDN (such as Cloudflare or AWS CloudFront) is employed. This helps in caching static content and improving load times.
    3. Domain and SSL: The website uses a custom domain registered with a domain registrar. SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is implemented to ensure secure transactions and data encryption, which is crucial for e-commerce sites.
    4. Database Management: A robust relational database system like MySQL or PostgreSQL is likely used to manage the inventory, user profiles, and transaction records.
    5. Network Security: Firewalls, anti-DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) protection, and regular security patches are part of the infrastructure to protect against unauthorized access and cyber threats.

B. Network Design Considerations:
    1. Scalability: The network design must support scalability to handle varying loads, especially during peak times such as sales events or promotions. Auto-scaling features in cloud services can dynamically allocate resources as needed.
    2. Redundancy: To ensure high availability and minimize downtime, redundant systems and failover mechanisms are in place. This includes backup servers and data replication strategies.
    3. Load Balancing: A load balancer is used to distribute incoming traffic evenly across multiple servers, preventing any single server from becoming a bottleneck.
