Cloud Server Features

Self-Healing Technology


Load balancing, intelligent resource distribution and automatic failover ensures your cloud server maintains maximum performance at all times. In the unlikely event of a host server failure your cloud server will immediately and automatically reboot on another host server, guaranteeing high availability and business continuity.

Total Flexibility & Control


Have complete control of your cloud server with full root access and choice of Operating Systems. Your cloud server comes with database, web, email and ftp servers as standard however we give you the ability to customise your own dedicated solution. Our advanced technology enables live RAM and CPU upgrades without any reboots or disruption to your cloud server.

 

Advanced SAN Technology

Unlike other providers offering ‘cloud’ on local hard drives, out cloud is fully integrated with advanced SAS/SSD SAN technology providing high availability even in the event of a host server failure.

This technology enables seamless live transitions between cloud host servers without any interruption to service or impact on performance, making downtime for upgrades or maintenance a thing of the past.

Fault Tolerant Cloud (Disaster Recovery)

Our Fault Tolerant option provides continuous availability for your critical applications. An identical copy of your cloud server is continually synchronised to our backup datacentre facility in Birmingham, in the unlikely event of a critical failure in London, your service will simply switch to the DR facility, giving you maximum redundancy and resilience. With zero data loss and minimum disruption to service, you can now protect your most critical applications in the cloud.

 

Daily or Hourly Backups

Using next generation technology from Veeam we can provide fast, transparent backup and recovery of your cloud server. This unique technology enables you to instantly boot any historic backup to recover specific data or replace your entire cloud server.

Private & Hybrid Cloud

Want the benefits of cloud hosting but require additional security and control? Let our team of experts design your own Private or Hybrid cloud solution, providing you with complete flexibility to allocate infrastructure resources as you choose, and cost effectively scale on-demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Cloud Server?

A cloud server gives you full control over your hosting. Unlike with shared web hosting, resources on the server aren’t shared with other users. A cloud server gives you complete control over the server and its resources, including storage, memory, CPU and bandwidth.

How Do I Use Cloud Server?

A cloud server is just like having your own server in an office server room or data centre. You can easily log in as an administrator and install your applications and manage resources, if you just want to be able to get going quickly with standard functions like hosting websites or email then add a server management tool like Plesk or cPanel.
