Norce Commerce Infrastructure

Norce Commerce offers a robust and scalable infrastructure for modern commerce, leveraging fully virtualized Azure-native technologies like Azure Kubernetes Services, Azure SQL, and Azure Cosmos for flexibility and scalability. Hosting primarily in Sweden Central, with the option of single-tenant environments worldwide, ensures data integrity and compliance.

Using a hub-and-spoke model, Norce Commerce maintains data integrity across diverse customer environments. Security is foundational, with proactive threat modeling and collaboration with Azure Teams at Microsoft.

The single-tenant enterprise offering provides enhanced security, customization, and flexibility, including dedicated load balancers and federated login capabilities launching in 2024. Access to SIEM logs empowers clients to identify and address security threats swiftly. This tailored approach ensures seamless integration of bespoke components and alignment with specific operational and security needs.
