Not all Cloud hosting uses the same computing technology, resulting in dramatically varying levels of scalability, reliability and performance. Our HP & VMware Cloud hosting platform uses genuine, purpose-built HP Blade server technology coupled with VMware (the industry’s premier virtualisation software), to control server resources.

Hardware Configuration.
We utilise multiple HP Blade enclosures which contain up to 16 Blades per enclosure. HP Blades are servers that are mounted vertically which allows more units to fit into a smaller amount of data centre space, resulting in energy savings.

Our storage arrays employ fibre channel disks connected via fibre optics which are the fastest disks in the world today, and the best way to connect storage devices to Blade servers. Read/write bottlenecks encountered when using classic VPS (Virtual Private Servers) and physical dedicated servers are now a thing of the past.

Geniune Cloud Hosting
We have carefully selected this combination of technology and specific type and configuration of hardware because together, they provide scalability, reliability and performance above anything else available today. Many other hosting providers advertise their offering as Cloud but in reality, they provide single stand-alone servers which are virtualised. Our genuine Cloud Hosting platform simply cannot be bettered.
