Hardware Environment
|
Physical CPU |
Quad CPU AMD Opteron processors with AMD-V technology, total of 8 logical CPUs per hardware node. |

Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processors with Direct Connect Architecture and AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™) technology power
efficient, flexible, and secure server virtualization solutions available today. AMD-V represents a collection of
silicon-enabled enhancements that allow common Hypervisor software functions to be performed faster and more efficiently
in hardware.
AMD-V™ technology enables processor-optimized virtualization, for a more efficient implementation of virtualization
environments that can help you to support more users, more transactions and more resource intensive applications in a
virtual environment.
|
RAM |
32 GB ECC buffered RAM. |

Kingston's low latency DDR2-800 CL4 SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) memory modules with ECC (Error-Correcting Code memory) provide
exceptional performance and stability for virtualized environments.
|
Disk |
Wester Digital 10,000 RPM Raptor SATA2 drives utilizing harware RAID10 arraray.
|

AMCC's 3ware 9650SE SATA II hardware RAID controllers deliver industry-leading RAID 10 performance, robust fault tolerance, and multi-terabyte capacities.
Our virtual server disk technology is optimized for high disk IO and fault tolerance.
|
Network |
Redundant Gigabit Ethernet Cisco routers and switches.
|

We utilize redundant Cisco network switches and routers configured using hot standby HSRP protocol to provide high network availability and fault tolerance.
Each virtual server is uplinked to Gigabit Ethernet network ensuring bandwidth availability during peak demand.
|
Security |
Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances |

Cisco® ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances are purpose-built solutions that combine best-in-class
security and VPN services with an innovative, extensible services architecture. Designed as a core component of
the Cisco Self-Defending Network, the Cisco ASA 5500 Series provides proactive threat defense that stops attacks
before they spread through the network, controls network activity and application traffic, and delivers flexible
VPN connectivity. The result is a powerful multifunction network security appliance family that provides the
security breadth and depth for protecting enterprise, and data center networks.
|
Datacenters |
Tier-4 datacenters, N+1 redundant power, cooling, 24/7 staffed NOC. |
Currently we have presence in two datacenter facilities managed by different carriers Level(3) and Expediant.
Both facilities are located in Cleveland Ohio. This is the ideal location in the geo-stable region ensures no
disruptions due to earthquakes, hurricanes, or any other natural disasters. Both datacenters are located on the
major internet backbone connections ensuring low latency and stable IP connections from around the globe.
The datacenter facilities have built in N+1 redundant power generators, air cooling, and battery capacity to
operate indefinitely even in case of region-wide power outage like we have witnessed during 2003 power grid failure
in North East US and Canada. All access is managed by security guards, biometric scanners, and CCTV.

Server Features
|
Bandwidth |
320 GB |
640 GB |
1280 GB |
|
The amount of data that can be transferred at a given moment to or from a server. The larger the bandwidth value the higher amount of traffic your site can handle at one time.
|
Storage Volume |
26 GB |
36 GB |
48 GB |
|
Each hosted appliance has a virtual hard disk, from within the virtualized environment it appears as a hard drive. The storage volume determines how large the initial volume (c:\) will be.
|
Number of CPUs |
1 |
2 |
4 |
|
We can scale the number of CPUs available to a Hosted Appliance server on demand from 1 to 8 CPUs. If your
application or service requires to handle multiple transactions or has to handle significant load, additional
processors can handle the job much better than single CPU system. By default each server configuratin comes equiped with a fixed number of CPUs as show here.
|
OS
|
Windows 2003 Server R2 or Windows 2008 Server |
Hosted appliance virtual servers can be configured with the following operating systems:
|
Server RAM
|
1024 MB |
2048 MB |
4096 MB |
|
Amount of RAM (Random Access Memory) available to a server determines overall server capacity. Generally
speaking, the more RAM available, server will be able to handle more workload or be able to process more
simultaneous transactions and serve more users. The memory allocated to the hosted appliance virtual
server is not shared. This memory space is dedicated and is completely separated from other virtual
servers residing on the same physical host.
|
Dedicated IPs
|
Yes |
Yes |
Yes |
|
Although multiple websites and services can share same IP address. The dedicated IP addresses assigned to each hosted appliance server allow flexibility in your server configuration. In some cases unique IP addresses are necessary, for example when utilizing SSL encryption.
|
Unrestricted Server Management
|
Yes |
Yes |
Yes |
Customers have complete and unrestricted server administrator access using Microsoft Terminal Services. You can manage your server using same windows graphical user interface as if you were at the physical server console.
