We can Host your Virtual Server on our Physical Servers
We have servers located at, arguably, the UK's best hosting facility:-
Redbus Interhouse at Canary Wharf, London.
The controlled environment (constant temperature, low humidity and
dust-free), guaranteed power supply and multiple redundant connections
to the Internet means that it would literally take a bomb, and a pretty
big one, to take our server off-line.
Security at the place is so tough that even we aren't allowed access to our servers while they are in situ
in the racks.
Why would you want to Host a Virtual Server Off-Site?
A server that's located off-site, has a lightening-fast Internet
connection and can be linked to your local network over a VPN, can be
very useful. Here's how:-
 |
It can be an additional Domain
Controller in your network to automatically keep an up-to-date
copy of your Active Directory information in case your local server fails. |
|
|
It can be a second Exchange Server
to which all your Public Folders are replicated.
This keeps a synchronised off-site backup which can be made accessible to
your users from the Internet. Replication is both ways so any
changes made on the Virtual Server are copied back to your
office's Public Folder tree. |
|
|
You can use it for off-site
backups of company data for safety and/or access from outside your office. |
|
|
It can be your company website
through which you allow customers to download manuals or
brochures, or access your in-house databases through a web interface. |
An off-site virtual server allows you to do all this without
overloading your office's Broadband connection.
A physical off-site server could do all these jobs equally as well.
Because many virtual servers can operate on
one physical server - up
to 64 in theory - a virtual server is cheaper than a physical server
and, if you make a serious configuration error such as disabling the
network card, the situation can be rescued from the host machine's
control panel thus saving a trip into Docklands. ^ Top of Page ^
