In the development of cloud providers, not only the types of services they provide play a significant role, but also fault tolerance to service failures. It is important for a cloud service provider to prepare and configure the server and service for fault-tolerant operation so that the customer works with a high degree of readiness and reliability in the system allocated to him. To prepare such a server, it is very important to think carefully about the architecture of the virtual machine, on which all the necessary means of data exchange and integration for the operation of the service will be installed, and protection against network threats that can disrupt the server's performance will be configured. The purpose of the work is to create a virtual machine architecture protected from network threats, which provides customers with access to the iTOP CMDB system. Despite the fact that there can be any number of customers, the iTOP CMDB system should be provided to each customer with its own version, which he can administer. The user can log in using an Internet browser by entering the name of his organization as a domain. The authors present a demonstration of the iTOP CMDB system, which is located on a virtual machine protected from network threats.

The article provides a solution to the problem of optimizing air ducts with a rectangular cross-section for ventilation and air conditioning systems. Based on the use of the methodology for optimizing air ducts according to the above costs, the optimal proportions of the sides of the rectangular cross-section of the duct are determined, depending on the amount of material costs for the duct device and the cost indicators of its operation. The obtained optimal aspect ratios of the cross sections of the ducts are universal and do not depend on the location of the duct relative to the system fan. These conditions allow, at the design stage of the ventilation system, to assess the degree of optimality of the decisions made on the choice of the dimensions of the cross-sections of the ducts and, if necessary, to make appropriate changes to the design solutions of the ventilation system. The obtained optimality conditions allow them to be included in the calculation programs of the air.

The article deals with the issues related to the study of aerodynamic and energy characteristics of the two layout solutions of mechanical ventilation and air conditioning systems - with the placement of the fan before and after the heater. Based on the use of graphoanalytic method of studying the parameters of the fan in the ventilation network, the dependences determining the aerodynamic and energy characteristics of the systems in three characteristic modes of their operation - at ambient temperatures equal to the design, the average temperature of the heating period and +8 ° C are obtained. The obtained dependences indicate that the installation of the air heater after the fan allows to increase the level of energy efficiency of the system in comparison with the placement of the air heater in front of the fan in the cold period of the year under the thermally unsteady operation of the supply ventilation system.

The article presents the results of studies to determine the energy efficiency of the two options for the mutual placement of the fan and the air heater in the ventilation system. The traditional variant with the installation of the air heater to the fan and the layout solution with the installation of the air heater after the fan are considered. It is shown that thermodynamic processes occur in the systems under consideration, the direction and energy efficiency of which depends on the layout solution of the system. By using the method of analysis of aerodynamic efficiency of ventilation systems, it is proved that the implementation of the objective function of the system with the highest energy efficiency corresponds to the installation of the fan in front of the air heater. This option corresponds to the minimum values of the volumetric capacity of the fan and its power consumption.

The article reveals the relationship between the concepts of "ecology", "Anthropoecology"and " architecture". The analysis of the concepts of "architecture" and "Anthropoecology", common to them, their identity, is that the object of consideration is the external environment in relation to man. It is established that the objective of Anthropoecology, in this context, is the study of human interaction with the environment, determining the conditions of its comfort and utilitarianism for humans, and the subject of architecture – the formation of the environment through the construction of buildings. The direct connection and continuity of ecology and architecture in the formation of an artificial human environment determines environmental friendliness as an essential, profound property and the mission of architecture. On the basis of comparative analysis of the concepts "Anthropoecology" and "architecture" their deep essential interrelation is established, which determines the necessity of anthropoecological approach to architectural design, as well as the transition to the integrated assessment of environmental characteristics of real estate objects.
