Virtual Servers & Cloud Computing
Virtualisation platforms have made it possible to run far
fewer physical servers, as most servers stand idle or at low
utilisation for most of the day. By sharing server
resources, we can provide high performance RAID-protected
SAN storage based on 15K SAS drives on a redundant platform with
expansion capacity for your changing requirements, in one of
the most connected UK datacentres, often at the same price
as a entry-level dedicated server
solution.
We operate a number of virtualisation platforms, but by
far the most popular is based on the Xen-hypervisor which
makes it possible to run virtually any common operating
system. We use Citrix XenServer with central storage, giving
us the ability to migrate virtual servers between physical
servers, allowing for zero-downtime maintenance in the event
of upgrades.
We use high spec Dell PowerEdge R710 servers with two
quad-core or six-core Xeon low voltage (energy efficient)
processors.
What specification do you offer?
We are currently updating our specifications. More
details will be available shortly. In the mean time, if you are interested in
a virtual server solution, please contact
sales.
