Heart Internet VPS Technology
We've used our years of web hosting expertise to develop our own VPS platform from the ground up, rather than buying an off-the-shelf solution that doesn't match our customers' needs.
We use the latest generation of Dell PowerEdge r7xx series servers, (optimised for virtualisation), to provide a stable platform. Each physical server has 8 x 10k SAS disks for primary storage, (in a RAID-10 array), providing full storage redundancy and high-speed access to data. A top-end PERC RAID card with battery-backed cache ensures the integrity of your data with no storage bottlenecks. We use flash memory for the boot volume, to ensure fast booting and to minimize downtime during upgrades. Each physical server has 12 Intel Xeon cores, designed for heavy server workloads, and 144GB of RAM to accommodate future memory needs of each virtual server. As your requirements grow, your VPS can be upgraded to meet them. All VPS can be fully customised post-purchase, only a reboot is required for them to take effect. All upgrades are pro-rated from point of purchase.
