Firstserv VM Cloud is a flexible, scalable and reliable way to host, based on VMware’s industry leading virtualisation platform. The workload is spread between multiple physical machines so you can scale your resources up and down easily, and without reinstalling your operating system.

You are no longer reliant on a single physical server, if one breaks, your hosting simply moves across to another part of the cloud. Because of this efficient use of resources, costs are lower, and you save time and money. The net result is more uptime, better performance and lower costs.

We are proud to offer you space in our cloud.

To order your own cloud server pick one of our standard packages, use our online configuration tool or call to speak to one of our sales advisors.



Benefits of Firstserv Managed Cloud

  • Scalability: You can increase or decrease RAM, disc space and processor capacity without needing to move or reinstall your server.
  • Hardware failover: If a physical machine fails your server will automatically start up on a spare machine, minimising downtime.
  • Quick set up: Get a Windows server up and running in minutes. There is no need to wait for new hardware to arrive and be installed.
  • Patching: We keep your operating system patched, providing up-to-date security.
  • Enterprise Monitoring: Site monitoring customised to your needs - for example, we can check a specific page on your website and notify you if it fails to respond.
  • Action on alarm: We can carry out specific instructions on how to respond to a particular problem without waiting for the customer to notify us or request changes.
  • Backup: We perform a daily backup of your data, giving you peace of mind.
  • Cloud Support: Our service includes 24x7 support access by phone or email to assist with any queries.
  • Carbon Balanced: All Firstserv hosting is carbon balanced as part of our green hosting initiative.
  • Flexibility: Firstserv allow you to customise and mix cloud hosting, colocation and dedicated servers to provide the best solution for your needs.
