Our virtual dedicated servers run on our highly scalable and redundant VMware server platform giving you ultra-reliability for your sites and applications. Your resources can grow with your usage from a small web server all the way up to serving over 300k hits a day. Our virtual dedicated servers can fit all your requirements and save you future hassle with scalable hardware and excellent uptime.
Because our virtual servers run in a redundant, clustered environment, they are not vulnerable to many of the same faults that physical servers are, such as hardware failures or heat concerns. Additionally, since the server is virtual, things that are traditionally hardware upgrades, such as more RAM or an an additional disk, are now simply an email and a few mouse clicks away.
Virtual servers work just like dedicated servers – in fact they can perform most of the same tasks. You are in complete control of your server. To that end, we can offer a KVM service for virtual servers – access to the local keyboard and mouse console of your server, in case your network becomes incorrectly configured. KVM access also allows you to power your server on and off remotely without putting in a support request, and also makes it simple to install a new operating system or boot off of another disk should the need arise.
Virtual workstations are an excellent way for someone with several computers at different physical locations to unify their workspace. Our virtual workstations are a great way to protect your documents and data by storing them on our state-of-the-art redundant SANs. Because you can access your workstation from any computer with an internet connection, all your applications and documents can be with you, wherever you happen to be working.
Virtual workstations also add an extra layer of security to your documents – should you lose your laptop, because your confidential and important documents are stored securely on the virtual workstation they are not vulnerable to being stolen. Likewise, in the event that your computer or laptop suffers from a disk failure, once the disk is replaced you can resume work immediately, without the need to restore backups or recover your data – you won’t even need to reinstall your applications!
Furthermore, as you grow to need more power for your workstation, it can grow with you – more RAM or disk space is just a phone call or an email away, there’s no hardware to buy, no installation time and no risk of breaking something to complete the upgrade. Additionally, because your virtual workstation is hosted on our high-availability server cluster, it is connected to the internet through a high-speed and reliable internet connection – downloading on your workstation can take a fraction of the time it otherwise would on a home broadband connection.
A dedicated host provides you the benefits of a dedicated server with the flexibility, reliability and scalability of a virtual dedicated server. By running your server on a virtual host dedicated to your machine, you get the failover capabilities of our cluster environment, the data security of our redundant centralised storage and the scalability of being able to add resources and machines on the fly while maintaining the benefits to being the only occupant of your dedicated host.
