New Virtual Dedicated Server Range
Audience
This BLOG post is intended for Resellers & Techies interested in knowing what’s under the hood of our new VDS – Virtual Dedicated Server range.
Virtual Dedicated Server – Built With VMware vSphere 5.5.
VMware vSphere is at the heart of the VH Cloud Platform providing enterprise level hardware virtualisation, high availability and robust security; Making your “Virtual Machine” just like a dedicated server, only better.
How is a Virtual Dedicated Server better than a Dedicated Server?
Glad you asked.
VDS provides flexible computing power, redundant infrastructure and built-in DR – Disaster Recovery with off-server backups without the added overhead of running physical servers. Here are some of the features of VDS that you just can’t get from a dedicated server environment without a major infrastructure investment and even then management of the dedicated environment normally blow costs sky high.
